Students are performing an experiment with the setup shown above, where a block of massM sits on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the isµ. The block is connected to a hanging object over a pulley. The pulley has a negligible massand friction. The string connected the two is very light and does not stretch. The studentsadd mass to the hanging object so that its mass m, where m < M, and the block-hangingobject system is released from rest. The hanging object falls for a distance h, at which pointit collides with the ground and comes to rest. The block on the table keeps sliding andtravels a total distance d before coming to rest. It does not reach the pulley, and d > h.At the beginning of the final trial, the string connecting the hanging object and the block iscut. The hanging object collides elastically with the floor and bounces vertically. Describehow high it bounces in terms of h. Justify your answer.

Hint: Put the center of the patient's foot at the origin of the xy-plane. Pulley F₂ x F₁ (Give your answer to one decimal place. Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.) Flension N
You are out on a hike and come across an unfortunate scene: a fellow hiker has fallen off a ledge. You happen to be carrying a long rope, and bravely decide to help. You tie the rope to a rock of mass mR=500 kgmR=500 kg and make your way over the ledge (see figure). If the coefficient of static friction between the rock and the ground is μS=0.355μS=0.355, and your mass is mH=70.5 kgmH=70.5 kg, what is the maximum mass of the fallen hiker (mFmF) that the rock can hold so that you two can make it back up from the ledge? Assume that where the rope passes the ledge is frictionless and that the rope is parallel to the ground.

A cord passing over a pulley connects two masses, as shown, where m1 = 3.60 kg and m2 = 6.50 kg. Assume the pulley and surfaces are frictionless, and the cord is massless and does not stretch. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) A triangular structure is oriented such that its base rests upon a horizontal surface. Its left and right sides are of equal length and and each form 35.0° inclines with respect to the base. Rectanglular masses labeled m1 and m2 are positioned, respectively, on the structure's left and right inclines. The two masses are connected by a cord that passes over an upright pulley affixed to structure's apex. (a) What is the acceleration of each block? (Enter the magnitude in m/s2.) m/s2 (b) What is the tension in the cord (in N)? N
Two horizontal forces, P and Q, are acting on a block that is placed on a table. We know that P is directed to the left but the direction of Q is unknown; it could either be directed to the right or to the left. The object moves along the x-axis.

An empty pail and a 34 kg wooden mass are tied together by a very light string which passes over a massless and frictionless pulley. There is a force of friction between the mass and the table and there is a coefficient of static friction of 0.76 and a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.46. Water is added to the bucket one drop at a time until the system just begins to move. When the system just begins to move, what will the acceleration be? (Answer to 1 decimal place, use g = 9.8m/s2)

A boy has filled his toy box with all his favorite toys and it trying to drag it across the floor. The toy box has a mass of 35 kg (including the toys) and the child pulls with a force of 24 N at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal (he is pulling mostly horizontally, but some of the force is pulling up). How will the normal force between the box and the ground change when the boy starts pulling?

The plane is inclined at an angle of theta = 0 away from vertical, as shown in the diagram. Carts B and C are connected by an essentially massless string. Another massless string runs from Cart B over a massless and frictionless pulley to a hanging block, Block A.
