You pull on a string with a horizontal force of magnitude Fyb = 69 N that is attached to a block of mass m 6 kg, then to the axle of a solid cylinder of mass me = 4.4 kg and radius r = 0.5 m, then to a spring of spring constant k = 115 N/m. This is all done on an inclined plane where there is friction (μs = 0.65 and μk = 0.36), and the incline angle is 0 = 30 degrees. Everything starts at rest, and the spring is unstretched. The block slides down the plane, the cylinder rolls down the plane (without slipping), and the spring stretches. k lllllllll Fyb b 0 Speed First, what is the speed of the block and cylinder after you have pulled the block and cylinder 172 cm down the plane?

A spring is attached to a block with a mass of 2.33 kg. The block is set on a rough horizonal surface, and you pull horizontally on the other end of the spring, steadily increasing the force. As soon as the spring stretches 0.126 m beyond its equilibrium length, you notice the block starts to move. If the spring constant is 75.8 N/m, what is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface?
