Two blocks A and B, of mass 4 kg and 5 kg, respectively, are connected by a cord that passes over pulleys as shown. A 3-kg collar C is placed on block A and the system is released from rest. After the blocks have moved 0.9 m, collar C is removed and blocks A and B continue to move. Determine the speed of block A just before it strikes the ground.

- Car B is towing car A at a constant speed of 10 m/s on an uphill grade when the brakes of car A are fully applied causing all four wheels to skid. The driver of car B does not change the throttle setting or change gears. The masses of the cars A and B are 1400 kg and 1200 kg, respectively, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.8. Neglecting air resistance and rolling resistance, determine (a) the distance traveled by the cars before they come to a stop, (b) the tension in the cable.arrow_forward4- Knowing that the system shown starts from rest, find the velocity at t 1.2 s of (a) collar A, (b) collar B. Neglect the masses of the pulleys and the effect of friction. 10 kg 15 kgarrow_forwardThe system consists of 60lb and 20 lb blocks A and B, respectively, and 5-lb pulleys C and D that can be treated as thin disks.
