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.

The block has a mass of 0.5 kg and moves within the smooth vertical slot. If the block starts from rest when the attached spring is in the unstretched position at A, determine the constant vertical force F which must be applied to the cord so that the block attains a speed vB = 5 m/s when it reaches B; sB = 0.25 m. Neglect the mass of the cord and pulley. a. (5 points) Establish a coordinate system, specify the direction and sense of the forces, displacement, velocity, etc. b. (10 points) Select a position between A and B. Draw the free-body-diagram. c. (10 points) List the forces doing work on the block when it moves from A to B. d. (5 points) Calculate the kinetic energy of the black when it arrives at B. e. (20 points) Use the principle of work and energy to solve for the constant vertical force F. Hint: when the block moves from A to B, how far does F travel in its direction? How much work does it do?
