- When the 13-lb block A is released from rest it lifts the two 18-lb weights B and C. Neglect the weight of the cord and the size of the pulleys. (Figure 1) Determine the maximum distance A will fall before its motion is momentarily stopped.Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. THE ANSWER IS NOT 4.519 ft. The last guy was WRONG!arrow_forwardSuppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a sled. The first child exerts a force of 71 N, the second a force of 98 N, kinetic friction is 4.5 N, and the mass of the third child plus sled is 23 kg. Using a coordinate system where the second child is pushing in the positive direction, calculate the acceleration in m/s2.arrow_forwardA box of mass 100.0kg rests on level ground and there is no friction between the box and theground. Resting on top of that mass is a 40.0kg mass with friction coecient that's unknown. A ropeis tied to the 100.0 kg mass and draped over a pulley from which a third mass hangs. How much massmust the hanging mass have in order for the acceleration of all masses to be 5ms2 ? What is the minimum possible friction coecient of the 40.0kg mass in the prior problem?arrow_forward
- Two blocks are connected via a pulley, both blocks have a mass of 10.kg. One block rests on a horizontal surface and the other one hangs freely by a cord which passes over a pulley. Assume the cord does not stretch, ignore mass of pulley and cord, therefore acceleration is the same for both blocks and tension is the same for both blocks. The hanging block moves down so the block lying on the horizontal surface moves to the right. What is the acceleration (m/s^2) of the blocks if the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is 0.50.arrow_forwardIn an experiment designed to investigate the frictional forces between bodies, a force was applied to a block of wood lying on a flat metal surface, as shown.
