I have thought and thought about this problem for years and made no progress.
First off, the moving block on an incline plane has a simple solution using Newton's laws for both friction and no friction cases. But once the incline plane itself is allowed to move, on a frictionless surface, then my problem begins.
Now what I am asking for is someone to help me work through the solution rather than just handing me an answer. This is not for any homework. I saw it years ago (Taylor? Goldstein??) and have never thought of posting it here until now.
Thanks!
