Problem: You are lead engineer on the design of a crash test apparatus that verifies collisions of varying types. A m = 2 kg mass, when suspended above from a light-weight wire of L = 1.5 m, is first released at an angle of 90°, and correspondingly a height h = L. The tethered ball swings toward the waiting block of M = 4 kg. collides, then rebounds back to an angle of 0 = 32°. In this case, the collision between m and M is elastic, which prompts M's rightwards motion a distance of Ax = 2.1 m, from which the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and surface on which it is slid is determined. m L h 0 M
