Verified calculation capability

Slip or tip Calculation Capability

Whether a block on a level surface slips or tips under a horizontal force. Slip uses the friction engine. Tip is the moment of the weight about the leading edge. Not an incline, and not a wedge.

Mechanical · Statics Capability ID mechanical.statics.slip_or_tip version 1.0.0 UNPUBLISHED

Model

Slip

Slip: P_slip = μ W
Tip: P_tip = W b / (2 d)

Inputs / Outputs

Canonical symbols for this capability. Agent schemas remain the contract.

Symbol	Quantity	Unit	Role
`W`	Weight, in newtons	—	input / output
`mu`	Friction coefficient at impending slip	—	input / output
`b`	Width of the base in the direction of the force	—	input / output
`d`	Height of the horizontal force above the surface	—	input / output
`N`	—	—	output
`P_slip`	—	—	output
`P_tip`	—	—	output
`P`	—	—	output
`model`	—	—	output
`solver`	—	—	output

Assumptions / Validity

Declared scope for this capability. Do not use it outside this domain.

Assumptions

The surface is level and the force is horizontal
The weight acts through the center of a base of width b
mode is slip, tip, or either
Not an incline, a wedge, a screw, or a belt

Example

One numerical check. The calculator page holds worked steps and FAQ.

W=100 mu=0.25 b=2 d=2 → slip, P=25

Call this capability

Human page, REST, and MCP share the same engine and calculation_version. Build verified hashes workspace artifacts only. After deploy, attest:production GETs canonical URLs twice — the public/cached view an Agent actually hits, and origin — including every /capabilities/{id} HTML page. Public Capability HTML version must match catalog before production attestation passes. Live Trust rows above fetch /.well-known/calculatorx-production-attestation.json and the output schema const. Build hashes: release integrity. That proves currently published page / engine / schema / evidence / MCP agree — not that a historical version is independently immutable.
