40. A pendulum, comprising a light string of length L and a S small sphere, swings in the vertical plane. The string hits a peg located a distance d below the point of suspension (Fig. P8.40). (a) Show that if the sphere is released from a height below that of the peg, it will return to this height after the string strikes the peg. (b) Show that if the pendu- Pege lum is released from rest at the hor- izontal position (0 = 90°) and is to swing in a complete circle centered on the peg, the minimum value of d must be 3L/5.

A 10.0 kg block is released from point A in the figure. The track is frictionless except for the portion BC, of length 14 m. 10.0 kg 3.00 m B C k mmmmmm plz help and use g = 9.8 The block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant k = 1,631 N/m, and compresses it 0.1 m from its equilibrium position as it comes to rest momentarily. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between surface BC and the block. Express your answer to at least two digits after the decimal point.
