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 rectangular slab of slate rests on a bedrock surface inclined at angle θ = 28.4°. The slab has length L = 32.4 m, thickness T = 5.92 m, and width W = 14.3 m, and 1.0 cm3 of it has a mass of 3.2 g. The coefficient of static friction between slab and bedrock is 0.385. (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 6.05 cm2 and will snap under a shearing stress of 3.34 × 108 N/m2, what is the minimum number of bolts needed? Assume that the bolts do not affect the normal force.
