At a mail sorting facility, packages slide down a ramp but are stopped part way down the ramp so that they can be scanned. While the packages are scanned, they are held in place by a horizontal force from a spring-loaded arm. The ramp makes an angle of θ = 35.5∘ with the horizontal. The package has a mass of 9.75 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the ramp and the package is 0.395 . Calculate the minimum force Fmin that this arm must apply to hold a package on the ramp. Fmin =

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.

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.

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). (A)Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s2) of the blocks as Block A is on the way UP its incline. 20.1 5.36 2.40 9.25 6.16 13.0 (B)Calculate the tension (in N) in the rope as Block A is on the way UP its incline. 233 95.9 43.0 110. 359 165 (C)Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s2)of the blocks as Block A is on the way DOWN its incline. 15.0 9.70 1.79 4.60 4.00 6.90 (D)Calculate the tension (in N) in the rope as Block A is on the way DOWN its incline. 367 238 98.0 43.9 113 169 (E)Assuming the ramps and ropes are long enough, over what total distance (in meters) will the blocks have moved along their inclines after 3.5 seconds from start of the motion? (HINT: This is asking for distance, not displacement. ALSO, recognize that at some point over this 3.5 second time interval the blocks will stop and reverse direction.) 27.6 18.4 38.9 7.18 16.0 60.0
