A skier going down a 25 degree slope is accelerating at a rate of 1.0 m/s2 in the direction down the slope. a. Draw a free body diagram for the skier. All forces should be labeled as weights (w or Fg), normal forces (n), kinetic friction forces (fk), static friction forces (fs), or tensions (T). Subscripts are not needed. (3 points) b. Assuming air drag is negligible, find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skier and the slope. Show all your work so I can follow your reasoning. (7 points)

Two blocks, labeled A and B, are connected by a massless string that runs over a massless and frictionless pulley. Block A is sliding up along an inclined plane with ordinary surface friction. The string from block A runs over the pulley and then to block B which hangs straight down. At the start of the experiment, block A is sliding up the plane and block B is moving downward, both at a speed of v0 = 1.5 m/s. Block A has a mass of 3.3 kg. Block B has a mass of 1.4 kg. The plane is inclined at an angle of 27 degrees above horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the plane is 0.36 (no units). Assume that the only significant forces on the blocks are normal forces, tensions forces, friction from the inclined plane, and gravity (with g = 9.81 m/s2 ). From the start of the experiment, when block A is sliding up the plane at a speed of 1.5 m/s, how far (in units of meters) does block A slide before coming to a stop? Just one more "show your work" after this one. You will need to submit your solution for this question.

A block of mass 8 kg is pushed against a wall by a stick that is oriented at and angle 66∘ with the horizontal direction and is being pulled by a vertical string at the same time. The block is moving along the wall with a constant downward velocity. There is kinetic friction between the block and the wall. Given that the normal force exerted by the stick on the block is 43 N and the tension on the block is 37 N. find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wall and the block, μk, that allows the block to slide with constant velocity. Use g = 9.8 m/s2 and retain your answer to two decimal places. You are encouraged to draw a free-body diagram in your solution, which will provide you with partial credit if you submit your self-grading later.

Consider two blocks M1 on top of M2 on a level table. There is no friction between block M2 and the table, but there is friction between block M1 and block M2. Denote the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the blocks as μs and μk, respectively. The applied force F is applied to block M1 at an angle θ below the horizontal. The blocks start from rest. First, we will consider the situation where F is small enough that the two blocks stick together. (a) Draw free-body diagrams for the two masses. Be sure to label all forces and the direction of the accelerations. Also be sure to define an appropriate coordinate system for each free-body diagram. (b) Write down the Newton's second law equations for each block and each dimension (x and y). (c) Write down an inequality relating the force of friction and the normal force. (d) Identify the two Newton's third law pairs - i. e. the pairs of forces between the two blocks that are equal and opposite. (e) Find the acceleration of the blocks as a function of F, θ, M1, M2, g, μs, and μk. (You don't have to use all of these, but you will use at most these. ) (f) Find a condition on F such that the blocks stick together. i. e. Write an inequality in the form F ≤ Fmax for the blocks to stick together where Fmax is in terms of θ, M1, M2, g, μs, and μk.
