Consider the system consisting of a 10-kg block attached via a massless string to a 5-kg block shown below. The string connecting the blocks passes over a massless/frictionless pulley and both block sit on surfaces characterized by a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.20. Note that the 10-kg block sits on a 60° incline which itself elevated 3-m off the floor. Assuming the system is released from rest, what will be the speed of the 10-kg block after the system has moved for 3 seconds? If the string breaks the instant the 10-kg block arrives at the end of the incline—which happens to be 3 seconds after the blocks were released from rest, how far away from the base will the 10-kg block hit the ground?

Consider the system consisting of a 10-kg block attached via a massless string to a 5-kg block shown below. The string connecting the blocks passes over a massless/frictionless pulley and both block sit on surfaces characterized by a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.20. Note that the 10-kg block sits on a 60° incline which itself elevated 3-m off the floor.

  1. Assuming the system is released from rest, what will be the speed of the 10-kg block after the system has moved for 3 seconds?
  2. If the string breaks the instant the 10-kg block arrives at the end of the incline—which happens to be 3 seconds after the blocks were released from rest, how far away from the base will the 10-kg block hit the ground?
