So in a formula,
-
where the forces are what they are in any context,
-
you can apply the formula in any limit.

Okay, so I'm going to do one more of these inclined planes

and then pretty much done with the inclined plane.
-
Okay, this is a problem of two masses.
-
There's a rope that goes over the pulley,
-
let's call this m,
