A 1500-N crate is to be held in place on a ramp that rises at 30.0° above the horizontal (see figure). The massless rope attached to the crate makes a 22.0° angle above the surface of the ramp. The coefficients of friction between the crate and the surface of the ramp are uk = 0.450 and us = 0.650. The pulley has no appreciable mass or friction. What is the MAXIMUM weight w that can be used to hold this crate stationary on the ramp? w = ? Crate 22.0° -- Ramp 30.0°

A 3.00-kg block is sent up a ramp inclined at an angle 0 = 27.0° from the horizontal. It is given an initial velocity vo = 15.0 m/s up the ramp. Between the block and the ramp, the coefficient of kinetic friction is µ = 0.30 and the coefficient of static friction is µ, = 0.80. What distance D along the ramp's surface does the block travel before it comes to a stop? D =

Please ignore my last question. I am sorry. I messed up the problem when I asked before. The correct one is below: An inclined plane makes an angle of 30 degee with the horizontal. (Static friction coefficent of the inclined surface is 0.4 and the kinetic friction coefficent is 0.1) A block which weighs 1 kg must pass through a gate at the bottom of the incline with a velocity of 3.0 m/s. At what distance along the incline must you realease the block?
You are using a modified block and tackle pulley system to lift a concrete block. You need to lift the concrete block (mass=200kg) a distance of 5 meters upward. The system is designed to reduce the force loaded by a factor of 4. How much rope must you pull down on the other side of the pulley to lift the block the proper distance?
