A block, whose mass is 0.620 kg, is attached to a spring with a force constant of 128 N/m. The block rests upon a frictionless, horizontal surface (shown in the figure below). The block is pulled to the right a distance A = 0.120 m from its equilibrium position (the vertical dashed line) and held motionless. The block is then released from rest. (a) At the instant of release, what is the magnitude of the spring force (in N) acting upon the block? N (b) At that very instant, what is the magnitude of the block's acceleration (in m/s2 )? m/s2 (c) In what direction does the acceleration vector point at the instant of release? Away from the equilibrium position (i. e. , to the right in the figure). The direction is not defined (i.e., the acceleration is zero). Toward the equilibrium position (i.e., to the left in the figure). You cannot tell without more information.

Problem 1. You are trying to slide a heavy block-like object, of mass m, along a flat floor, with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk between the object and the floor. You wrap a rope around the object, and pull with a force of magnitude F. Your goal is to slide the block along the floor at some constant speed. You do not necessarily have to pull horizontally; you can pull at any angle α to the horizontal. (20 points total) (a) Find an expression for F as a function of α, μk, g, and m. ( 8 points) (b) What would be the optimum choice of α, so that the block can be pulled with the smallest value of F ? (8 points) (c) If μ = 0.6, what is the optimum value of F computed in part b ? (4 points)
