*A child on a sled has been given a push so that he is moving up a hill. The hill is covered with icy snow and can be treated as frictionless. The child has a mass of 22.7 kg; the sled has a 3.18 kg. How far will he go before coming to a stop if his speed is 3.83 m/s when he starts at the bottom of the hill? He holds on tightly and so does not fall off the sled, and the hill makes an angle of 25.50 with the horizontal.
CHOICE:
Problem 2: Assume negligible friction between the crate and the surface. In both situations, a man exerts
a 300 N force on a crate that has a mass of 50 kg. The angle in both scenarios is 30 degrees.

Scenario: A chair with a mass of 20.0 kg is attached to one end of a frictionless pulley system via a strong massless rope. The other end of the rope is attached to a steel water tank sitting on a flat horizontal concrete surface (see the image to the right). The coefficient of static friction between steel and concrete is 0.45 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the surfaces is 0.30. The water tank, which is full of water, has sprung a leak. The combined mass of the water and the tank is 500 kg. This mass slowly decreases as the water leaks from the hole. You (i.e. my mass is 55.7 KG) are sitting at rest in the seat. You and the seat will remain at rest as long as the force of static friction is strong enough to hold you. Task: LET [DOWN] and [RIGHT] be positive.
