Chapter 5, Problem 38AP
Why is the following situation impossible? A book sits on an inclined plane on the surface of the Earth. The angle of the plane with the horizontal is 60.0°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and the plane is 0.300. At time t = 0, the book is released from rest. The book then slides through a distance of 1.00 m, measured along the plane, in a time interval of 0.483 s.

A mass m slides up an incline (with = 32.1 degrees above the horizontal) until it stops momentarily because of friction. The coefficient of static friction between the mass and incline is 0.9; the coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and incline is 0.4. At a given instant, the mass is moving with speed of 4.3 m/s up the incline. How far beyond this point along the incline will the mass move before it comes to a stop?
