A cord that provides a tension with magnitude 19.31 N is attached to the right side of the block and extends horizontally, parallel to the table. As the block slides, the force of kinetic friction between the 1.831 kg block and the table is 2.844 N. Calculate the speed of the block at the end of the 46.03 cm movement. Report to four significant figures, in standard units, but do not include the unit in the answer field.arrow_forwardA 14 kg block measures 7 cm by 9 cm by 25 cm. When it slides on a 9 cm by 25 cm face, it moves with constant speed when pulled horizontally by a force whose magnitude is 17 N.

- Sally wants to hang up some decorations on the side of her house, so she props up a ladder of length L = 3m against a wall at an angle of θ = 50° with respect to the horizontal. The ground is somewhat icy, where the coefficient of static friction between the ground and the ladder’s feet is µ = 0.55; while the wall of her house can be considered frictionless. If Sally has a mass of 60kg and the ladder has a mass of 80kg, what is the max distance that she can climb up the length of the ladder without it slipping? You may assume the ground is perfectly flat, and the wall is perpendicular to the ground.arrow_forwardA 17 kg block rests on a 32 degree inclined frictionless surface and is attached by a light string to a 34 kg hanging mass where the string passes over a massless frictionless pulley.
