🚢 Water-Powered Inclined Plane: Carriage Pair, Water-Wheel Traction and Energy Balance (2D)

Side view of two ship carriages coupled by a rope over a drum on a long incline, driven by a water wheel. Set flow, cargo, brake, head and efficiency, and watch the trip, the force balance, the terminal speed, the water used and the energy account. The force law and constants follow the 3D incline page, with four in-page numerical checks.
