The 250-lb concrete block A is released from rest in the position shown and pulls the 400 lb log
up the 30' ramp. Plot the velocity of the block as it hits the ground at B as a function of the
coefficient of kinetic friction u, between the log and the ramp. Let ux vary between 0 and 1. Why
does the computer not plot results for the entire range specified?

Hints:
-- Model the system as a dependent motion analysis and derive acceleration equations in terms of
the unknown quantities
-- Use MATLAB to solve this system of equations (you'll need one equation for each unknown!)
-- Define uk as a range in MATLAB from 0 to 0 in 0.01 increments
-- Plot the function of the velocity for the block as it hits the ground
A car weighing 3300lb is moving at a speed of 38mi / h at a certain moment the driver pressed the brakes hard, so the car slid until it was completely quiet and while sliding the car tires were subjected to a friction force of about 0.70 times as much as the weight of the car is what distance the car travels before it stops completely I consider that the movement is in the direction of the axle x
