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 mm, where mh. Students derive the following equation for the relationship between the distance dd and the height h. (see image) (b) Whether or not this equation is correct, does it match the reasoning below? Justify your answer. if the experiment were repeated where the height h above the floor was increased, the distance that the block after the hanging object hits the floor would increase. this is because if the height h increases, the force acting on block M due to hanging mass m will last longer, which gives block M more kinetic energy -

A heavy sled is being pulled by two people, as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the sled and the ground is µs = 0.603, and the kinetic friction coefficient is = 0.403. The combined mass of the sled and its load is m = 336 kg. The ropes are separated by an angle o = 25.0°, and they make an angle 0 = 31.1° with the horizontal. Assuming both ropes pull equally hard, what is the minimum rope tension required to get the sled moving? minimum rope tension: N If this rope tension is maintained after the sled starts moving, what is the sled's acceleration? acceleration: m/s2

The figure shows a section of a cable-car system. The maximum permissible mass of each car with occupants is 2200 kg. The cars, riding on a support cable, are pulled by a second cable attached to the support tower on each car. Assume that the cables are taut and inclined at angle 0 = 39º. What is the difference in tension between adjacent sections of pull cable if the cars are at the maximum permissible mass and are being accelerated up the incline at 0.85 m/s²?

You are a bully. You pin a 48 kg dweeb to a wall so that his feet aren't touching the ground. Your arm is extended so that it makes an angle 28 degrees with the horizontal. The dweeb's back is so sweaty with fear that there is no friction between his back and the wall. What is the magnitude of the force , in N, you must apply to keep the dweeb in equilibrium? (Use g = 10 m/s2) This scenario is represented schematically below. Unfortunately for you, years later the dweeb is your boss and he makes your life miserable. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 12.3445)
