In the diagram shown, Block A is 34.5 kg and Block B is 11 kg. The incline on Block A's side makes an angle of 61.5∘ with the horizontal and the incline on Block B's side makes an angle of 29∘ with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction of Block A's incline is 0.16 and that of Block B's incline is 0.104 . Assume that Block A is initially (at t = 0) sliding up its incline at 5.2 m/s. Also assume the pulley is massless and frictionless. In your submitted work, be sure to show your neatly drawn free body diagrams for each mass (using a straight-edge). Identify each vector force (draw arrows) in the diagram and draw your axes for each diagram and show the component breakdown for each force. . . points will be lost for sloppy or incomplete drawings. You should have FOUR FBDs. . . one for each mass as Block A slides UP the incline (while Block B slides DOWN its incline), and one for each mass when Block A slides DOWN its incline (while Block B slides UP its incline).

As shown in Figure 3(a), a wooden block B with mass mB = 2.4 kg on a rough inclined plane is connected to a massless spring ( k = 160 N/m ) by a massless cord passing over a pulley P of radius R = 0.25 m and mass Mp = 0.60 kg. The angle of the inclined plane is θ = 37∘ and the coefficients of static and kinetic frictions are μs = 0.35 and μk = 0.30 respectively. The frictional force at the axle of the pulley is negligible. The pulley can be regarded as a solid disk. (a) The system is at rest and in this case, block B is on the verge of sliding down. Figure 3(a) i. Indicate (with labeled arrows) the forces acting on the pulley and the block. ii. Calculate the tension in the string and the extension of the spring. (You can assume that the tensions in the cord on either side of the pulley P are the same for this part.) (b) As shown in Figure 3(b), another wooden block A of mass mA = 1.2 kg made of the same material as block B is released from rest. It slides down a distance l down the rough inclined plane and collides with block B. The two blocks stick together and move down the incline with a common velocity v = 0.80 m/s immediately after collision and the pulley rotates. The cord does not stretch and does not slip on the pulley. Figure 3(b) i. Determine the distance l. ii. Determine the acceleration of the two blocks at the moment they move down together and the pulley starts to rotate. iii. Determine how much further down the slope the two blocks move together after they collide before the two blocks come to a momentary rest.

Two blocks A and B with masses mA = 10 kg and mB = 4 kg are connected by an inextensible cable and released from rest shown in Figure 1 (where block A is placed in position C ). The coefficients of kinetic friction between two blocks and the 30∘ inclined plane are μA = 0.1 and mB = 0.3. The cable is in tension in the entire motion and the sizes of blocks are negligible. (Take gravitational acceleration as 10 m/s2) (a) Draw separate free body diagrams of blocks A and B. Indicate clearly all the forces, directions of motion and coordinate systems. [4 marks] b) Based on the free body diagrams in part (a), establish the equations of motion for blocks A and B and determine the tension in the cable between two blocks. [12 marks] (c) Determine the time required for block A to move 2.5 m from positions C to D along the incline and the velocity of block A when it reaches position D. [4 marks] Figure 1
