A mass m = 12 kg is pulled along a horizontal floor with NO friction for a distance d =6.6 m. Then the mass is pulled up an incline that makes an angle θ = 26° with the horizontal and has a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.45. The entire time the massless rope used to pull the block is pulled parallel to the incline at an angle of θ = 26° (thus on the incline it is parallel to the surface) and has a tension T =49 N. With work and conservation of energy, how far up the incline does the block travel before coming to rest? (Measured along the incline.)

A stone has a mass of 8.79 g and is wedged into the tread of an automobile tire, as the drawing shows. The coefficient of static friction between the stone and each side of the tread channel is 0.818. When the tire surface is rotating at 10.9m/s, the stone flies out the tread. The magnitude FN of the normal force that each side of the tread channel exerts on the stone is 2.46 N. Assume that only static friction supplies the centripetal force, and determines the radius r of the tire (in terms of m)
