A light plane of mass 1200 kg makes an emergency landing on a short runway. With itsengine off, it lands on the runway at a speed of 35 m/s. A hook on the plane snags acable attached to a 130 kg sandbag and drags the sandbag along. Now you can consider thesystem as a combined mass along with the sandbag and the plane.Now, the coefficient of friction between the sandbag and the runway is μk = 0.4, and also theplane’s brakes give an additional retarding force of magnitude 1400 N. So our target for thisproblem is to find how far does the plane go before it comes to stop.Assume, when the plane snags the sandbag, the collision is instantaneous.[Hints Think carefully whether you can apply conservation of momentum or not] Find the speed of the plane and sandbag immediately after the collision.

Block A has a weight of 60 lb and block B has a weight of 10 lb. Neglect friction and the mass of the cord and pulleys. The figure shows a system of pulleys and blocks. Block A is located on an inclined surface with a slope of three-fourths. Block B is vertically suspended by a cord that goes over a pulley located at the top end of the inclined surface. The cord then goes downward and to the left, parallel to the slope, then it goes over a pulley fixed to the upper right end of block A. Then the cord goes upward and to the right parallel to the slope. The end of the cord is fixed to the anchor. Determine the speed of block A after it moves 5.7 ft down the plane, starting from rest.
