A block of mass m slides down a ramp of height hand
collides with an identical block that is initially at rest.
The two blocks stick together and travel around a loop of
radius R without losing contact with the track. Point A is
at the top of the loop, point B is at the end of a horizon-
tal diameter, and point C is at the bottom of the loop, as
shown in the figure above. Assume that friction between
the track and blocks is negligible.
(a) The dots below represent the two connected
blocks at points A, B, and C. Draw free-body dia-
grams showing and labeling the forces (not com
ponents) exerted on the blocks at each position.
Draw the relative lengths of all vectors to reflect
the relative magnitude of the forces.

Point B
Point C
(b) For each of the following, derive an expression in
terms of m, h, R, and fundamental constants.

the ramp, just before it contacts the stationary
block

function of time for the elevator from
t=0 to t = 3.0 seconds.
ii. Write an equation for the position as a
function of time for the elevator from t = 3.0
seconds to t = 19 seconds.
(c) A student of weight mg gets on the elevator
and rides the elevator during the time interval
shown in the graph. Consider the force of con-
tact, F, between the floor and the student. How
Justify your answer with reference to the graph
