A horizontal table top is shown to extend righward from a vertical wall. An object of mass m, hangs from a string that passes over a very light fixed pulley P, anchored at the right edge of the table surface. The string connects to a second very light pulley P₂. A second string passes around pulley P₂ with one end attached to the wall and the other to an object of mass m₂ on the frictionless, horizontal table.

Assume that Mary is now in the box, but has not started to move. a. What is the magnitude of the friction force acting on the box?b. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the box and child system?c. Will the box slide down the hill, or stay at rest?
Multiple-object systems with friction: Two boxes are connected by a weightless cord running over a very light frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. Box A, of mass 8.0 kg, is initially at rest on the top of the table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between box A and the table is 0.10. Box B has a mass of 15.0 kg, and the system begins to move just after it is released. A B (a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes, identifying all of the forces acting on each one. (b) Calculate the acceleration of each box. (6.1 m/s²) (c) What is the tension in the cord? (56 N)
Two carts on a low friction air-track are connected by an unstretched spring. Cart 1 has an inertia of 1.5 kg while cart 2 has an inertia of 2.5 kg. The spring has a spring constant of 10 N/m and negligible inertia. You push cart 1 in the direction of the cart 2 with a constant force of 5.0 N. (a) What is the acceleration of the centre of mass of the cart-spring system? (b) What is the acceleration of each cart the instant you begin to push?
A boy of mass m = 36 kg is standing initially at rest relative to the moving walkway, which has a constant horizontal speed u = 1.1 m/s. He decides to accelerate his progress and starts to walk from point A with a steadily increasing speed and reaches point B (a distance s = 29 m) with a speed dx/dt = v = 2.5 m/s relative to the walkway. During his acceleration he generates an average horizontal force F between his shoes and the walkway. Calculate the work done on the boy by the force F from an absolute viewpoint and then from a relative viewpoint. Explain the difference. Answers: Absolute viewpoint, Work = i Relative viewpoint, Work = i J
Two carts, A and B, roll on inclined planes with negligible friction. Cart A has a mass of 1.3 kg and it is on a plane inclined at an angle of ? θ ? θ = 63 degrees. Cart B has a mass of 2.5 kg and it is on a plane inclined at an angle of ? ϕ ? ϕ = 14 degrees. The carts are connected by a (nearly) massless string that runs over a (nearly) massless and frictionless pulley. Find the tension (in newtons) in the string.
My sister Crystal of mass M1=50kg is on an ice covered sidewalk with her dog Buster, who has mass M2=38kg. They are initially distanced d=5.00m apart. By pulling on the massless leash, my sister exerts a constant force F=30.00N on Buster, Buster slides towards her. How fast is Buster moving when he and my sister meet? (The leash is not rigid, so the distance can change between them. They also end at the same point, which means even if you cannot solve for their position, you can set them equal to one another)

In the very Dutch sport of Fierljeppen, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal as shown in (Figure 1). At the very top of his arc, a 70 kg vaulter is moving at 2.9 m/s and is 5.5 m from the bottom end of the pole. What is the magnitude of the vertical force that the pole exerts on the vaulter? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A particle A of mass 0.124 kg and a particle B of mass 0.088 kg are attached to the ends of a light inextensible string. The string passes over a small smooth pulley P which is fixed at the edge of a rough horizontal table. A is held at rest at a point 48 cm from P, and B hangs vertically below P, at a height of 47 cm above the floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between A and the table is 0.27. It can be assumed that the particles will start to move when A is released. Find the: Acceleration of the particlesTension in the string before B reaches the groud The speed wth which B reaches the ground
A 686 N park ranger uses a basket and a rope-pulley system to transport an injured sea turtle up to a plateau, as shown in the figure. The sea turtle and basket together have a mass of 50.0 kg. The ranger holds firmly onto the rope and walks away from the cliff, speeding up at a steady rate of 0.300 m/2 2. He thereby causes the basket (and the turtle) to accelerate straight upwards at the same rate. Assume that the rope has negligible weight and that the pulley is ideal, having no friction in its bearing. Also assume that as the ranger trudges along, his feet do not slip on the ground. +x 26.

A 2.50 kg box sits halfway up a 16.0 m long ramp that is inclined at an angle of 16.00. You shove a second box, of mass 1.50 kg, that's at the bottom of the ramp, so that it starts sliding up the ramp with a speed of 20.0 m/s. It hits the first box, sticks to it, and they both continue to slide up the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the boxes and the ramp is 0.200.
