Three blocks with masses, m1 = 1 kg, m2 = 2 kg, and m3 = 4.0 kg, are pulled to the right across a horizontal frictionless surface by a constant force, F = 48 N, that acts on the large block as shown in the figure. Two of the blocks, m1 and m3, are connected by an ideal rope while the smallest block, m2, is sitting directly in front of m1 as shown. Take right as the positive direction. Version One. (a) Find the acceleration of the system? m/s2 (b) Determine the magnitude of the tension in the rope between m1 and m3. N (c) What is the magnitude of the normal (contact) force between m1 and m2 ? N Version Two. What if block m2 was placed on top of block m1 instead of in front of it? (a) What would be the acceleration of the system and tension in the rope if m2 and m1 stuck together? a = m/s2 T = N (b) What if the blocks were made of ice so that m2 and m1 didn't stick together? At what rate would each block accelerate? a1 = m/s2 a2 = m/s2 a3 = m/s2 a3 = What would be the tension in the rope?

Question: In Figure A below, a bullet is fired into a block of wood and the bullet and block of wood swing up to a maximum height. This device is called a ballistic pendulum. Agree or Disagree with the following statement: "The mass of the bullet can be determined if you know the velocity of the bullet, mass of the block of wood, and the maximum height after the collision." Discuss why or why not this is possible. Figure A

The physics associated with statics has considerable applications in engineering. As a mechanical engineer working for a tow-truck manufacturer, you have been asked to evaluate the purchase of a new line of towing cable. The supplier claims that, although its cables are not as strong as its competitors (maximum tension capability of 9110 lb), the cost savings make it a good investment. A schematic of the towing configuration is shown. The car weighs 6479 lb, which is as large as the company expects their tow trucks to service. The overall length L of the car is 10.1 ft, and the distance d between the midpoints of the front and back tires is 9.09 ft. The bottom of the car's frame is a height hf = 0.370 above the ground, and the car's center of mass is a height hCM = 1.50 above the bottom of the car's frame. The angle ϕ between the midpoint of the tires and the tow cable is 50.0∘. Assume the CM of the car is positioned exactly halfway across its length, the geometry of the wheels and front/rear of the car is symmetrical, and that the coefficient of friction between the road and tires is sufficient to maintain no acceleration in the system. Calculate the tension T in the cable just as the front of the car begins to lift off the ground. Assume that the front end rises at a constant velocity. T = lb Based on your results, what would you advise your company? The cable they are offering is more than adequate. The cost savings make this a worthwhile investment. The cable they are offering is too weak to use. I would decline the purchase.
