As shown in the figure, a block of mass m is at rest on a ramp inclined 30∘ to the horizontal, and another block of mass 2 3 m at rest on a ramp inclined 60∘. Two blocks are connected by a light, inextensible cord, and the cord passes on a light, frictionless pulley. The other end of the block of mass m is connected to an spring with a force constant k. The spring is neither compressed nor extended. (a) What is the maximum distance the blocks will move when the inclines are frictionless? Express the answer in terms of m, k, and the gravitational acceleration g. (b) Repeat (a) when the coefficients of kinetic friction are 1/3 for both blocks. (c) What is the change in the internal energy of the system composed of the blocks, the inclines, and the spring?

Two disks are initially at rest, each of mass M = 4 kg, connected by a string between their centers, as shown in the figure. The disks slide on low-friction ice as the center of the string is pulled by a string with a constant force F = 15 N through a distance d = 2.7 m. The disks collide and stick together, having moved a distance b = 2.0 m horizontally. (a) What is the final speed of the stuck-together disks? vf = m/s (b) When the disks collide and stick together, their temperature rises. Calculate the increase in internal energy of the disks, assuming that the process is so fast that there is insufficient time for there to be much transfer of energy to the ice due to a temperature difference. (Also ignore the small amount of energy radiated away as sound produced in the collisions between the disks.) ΔEinternal = J
