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 person drags a 30 kg box across the floor by pulling on a rope at an angle of 20∘ above the horizontal. a. Draw a system schema for this scenario. (Model the person and rope as a single object, and model the Earth and floor as a single object.) b. Your system schema above might show a single contact interaction between the floor and the box. However, if the floor is a rough surface, we will split this interaction into two different forces on our free body diagram: a force that is perpendicular to the surface and a force that is parallel to the surface. (We do this because these forces are due to different sorts of physical phenomena and we model them differently, as we will see later in the semester.) Draw a free body diagram for the box with the coordinate system on the right. Label all the forces like F→A on B c. Make a table of the x and y components of all the forces. d. Use your table to write a Newton's second law equation for the sum of the forces in both x and y directions. Do we know either the x component or the y component of the acceleration? If so, what is it? e. Suppose the force of gravity on the box is 300 N, the horizontal contact force is 120 N, and the force of the person pulling on the box is 160 N. Use this with your equations to determine any unknown forces and components of the acceleration. f. Assuming the acceleration you calculated is constant, how much time does it take for the person to pull the box a distance of 10 m if the box starts from rest?A person drags a 30 kg box across the floor by pulling on a rope at an angle of 20∘ above the horizontal. a.

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
