A 5 kg block is suspended from the ceiling by a 1.5 m long rope and is at rest. A 25 g
projectile is fired horizontally at the block with a velocity of 50 m/s, and sticks inside the
block. The block then moves as a simple pendulum in simple harmonic motion. How far
above the block's equilibrium position does it go?
A 3.05kg object hangs, at rest, on a 1.96m long string attached to the ceiling. A 120g
object is fired with a speed of 8m/s at the 3.05kg object, and the two objects collide and
stick together in a totally inelastic collision.

A 480-gg block on a frictionless surface is attached to a rather limp spring of constant k=8.7N/mk=8.7N/m. A second block rests on the first, and the whole system executes simple harmonic motion with a period of 1.2 ss . When the amplitude of the motion is increased to 35 cmcm, the upper block just begins to slip.
What is the coefficient of static friction between the blocks?
