Two blocks of mass m1 = 3.0kg and m2 = 2.5kg are attached with a rope. The rope goes around several ideal pulleys. Two of the pulleys are attached directly to the ceiling (grey shaded region at the top) and will not move up or down. The lower pulley will move with block 1. Block 1 is free hanging and will move vertically. Block 2 rests on an inclined ramp at angle θ = 30°. The ramp is frictionless. Block 1 is observed to accelerate upwards. The experiment is done on earth, g = 9.8 m/s2 What is the tension in the long rope? by using variables only

A small object is initially at rest at the top of a large solid sphere that is fixed on the ground. The small object then begins to slide along the surface of the large solid sphere, without friction.

Part (b) Find the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the small object before it hits the ground. Take (xi, y₁) = (0,2R) as the coordinates for the top of the large solid sphere.

In the figure, a rectangular slab of slate rests on a bedrock surface inclined at angle 8 = 22.8°. The slab has length L = 48.9 m, thickness T = 6.61 m, and width W = 12.7 m, and 1.0 cm³ of it has a mass of 3.2 g. The coefficient of static friction between slab and bedrock is 0.312. (a) Calculate the component of the gravitational force on the slab parallel to the bedrock surface. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the static frictional force on the slab. By comparing (a) and (b), you can see that the slab is in danger of sliding. This is prevented only by chance protrusions of bedrock. (c) To stabilize the slab, bolts are to be driven perpendicular to the bedrock surface (two bolts are shown). If each bolt has a cross-sectional area of 6.47 cm² and will snap under a shearing stress of 3.59 x 108 N/m², what is the minimum number of bolts needed? Assume that the bolts do not affect the normal force.
A mass (M1=5.0 kg) is connected by a light cord to another mass (M2=3.0 kg) which slides on a frictional surface (μ1 = 0.25). moreover, another mass (M3=2.0 kg) is connected by a light cord to the mass M2. The coefficient of friction between M2 and M3 is μ2 = 0.2. The two pulleys (radius= 0.1 m) are identical and can rotate about a frictionless axle. If the moment of inertia of a pulley is 0.2 kgm2, what is the acceleration of M1? Calculate the tension of each string?
Students are performing an experiment with the setup shown above, where a block of mass M sits on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is μk. The block is connected to a hanging object over a pulley. The pulley has negligible mass and friction. The string connecting the two is very light and does not stretch. The students add mass to the hanging object so that its mass is m, where m < M, and the block-hanging object system is released from rest. The hanging object falls for a distance h, at which point it collides with the ground and comes to rest. The block on the table keeps sliding and travels a total distance d before coming to rest. It does not reach the pulley, and d > h. A student creates a data table (see image) for the net force exerted on the block during the speeding up and slowing down portions of the experiment. (d) Does the block of mass M spend more time speeding up or slowing down? Justify your answer.
In the figure, a cord runs around two massless, frictionless pulleys. A canister with mass m = 41 kg hangs from one pulley, and you exert a force F on the free end of the cord. (a) What must be the magnitude of F if you are to lift the canister at a constant speed? (b) To lift the canister by 3.5 cm, how far must you pull the free end of the cord? During that lift, what is the work done on the canister by (c) your force (via the cord) and (d) the gravitational force? (Hint: When a cord loops around a pulley as shown, it pulls on the pulley with a net force that is twice the tension in the cord.)
