You are in a rocketship in deep space accelerating upwards with acceleration A. At the top of an inclined plane in the rocketship, you place a block of mass m. The length of the incline is L. If you let go of the block, what is the time taken by the block to reach the bottom of the incline? θ is the angle that the incline makes with the horizontal, and you make sure that the incline cannot move. Assume no friction.
