A block of mass m1 on a rough, horizontal surface is connected to a second mass m; by a light cord over a light frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. ('Light' means that we can neglect the mass of the cord and the mass of the pulley.) A force of magnitude Fis applied to the mass m4 as shown, such that m1 moves to the right. The coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and the surface is p. Derive a formula for the acceleration of the masses. [Serway 5th ed., pg.135, Fig 5.14]
Two blocks each of mass m are fastened to the top of an elevator as in the figure below. The elevator has an upward acceleration a. The strings have negligible mass.
(a) Find the tensions T, and Tz in the upper and lower strings in terms of m, a, and g.
T =
T2 =
(b) Compare the two tensions and determine which string would break first if a is made sufficient large.

A man on the wire singing "Man on a Wire" while practicing for his circus show has reached the center of the rope, creating a dip on the center angled at (70.36) degrees. If the mass of the man is (33.21)kg and the tension force that can be handled by the wire is (238.24)N, would the wire break? Show the tension caused by the man hanging on the wire.

Assume that Pass has used some camping equipment to cobble together a pretty good pulley to change the rope’s direction at the lip of the crevasse. Also assume that Chris hangs freely when suspended below the lip of the crevasse. Is it possible for Pat to pull Chris out, considering the likely coefficients of friction involved?
