Chapter 4.7, Problem 4.7QQ
Consider the two situations shown in Figure 4.8, in which no acceleration occurs. In both cases, all individuals pull with a force of magnitude F on a rope attached to a spring scale. Is the reading on the spring scale in part (i) of the figure (a) greater than, (b) less than, or (c) equal to the reading in part (ii)?

In the figures, the masses are hung from an elevator ceiling. Assume the velocity of the elevator is constant. Find the
tensions in the ropes (in N) for each case. Note that 8₁ = 35.0°, 0₂ = 55.0°, 03 = 60.0°, m₁ = 3.00 kg, and m₂ = 7.00 kg.

A block of mass m1 = 38.4 kg on a horizontal surface is connected to a mass m2 = 15.2 kg that hangs vertically as shown in the figure below. The two blocks are connected by a string of negligible mass passing over a frictionless pulley. Assume that the horizontal surface is smooth.
a) What is the acceleration (in m/s2) of the hanging mass? (Enter the magnitude only.)
b) Determine the tension (in N) in the cord. (Enter the magnitude only.)
In procedure 2, you found the coefficient of kinetic friction by measuring the acceleration of a cart under the influence of the combined forces of friction, normal force, gravity, and tension in string from which masses were hanging. Suppose you add more masses to the hanging weight, therefore increasing the tension and hence the acceleration for this system to double (2 x) its original value. How many times of the old value of the coefficient of kinetic friction will the new value be?
