Question
A uniform chain of length 8.00 m initially lies stretched out on a horizontal table. (a) Assuming the coefficient of static friction between chain and table is 0.600, show that the chain will begin to slide off the table if at least 3.00 m of it hangs over the edge of the table. (b) Determine the speed of the chain as its last link leaves the table, given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chain and the table is 0.400.

- On a horizontal plane a block of mass m = 0.30 kg is placed and initially held at rest. To this block a massless string is attached and it initially keeps another block of mass M = 0.50 kg vertically at rest via a fixed pulley as shown in Figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block m and the plane is Pk -0.25, but the friction between the block M and the vertical wall is zero. Calculate the tension T by string in N. (Hint: First calculate the acceleration of m or M. And set up the equation of motion for M to find the tension T.)

His weight is w, the length of the chains is R, and you push Throcky until the chains make an angle u0 with the vertical.

There is some friction present; the kinetic coefficient of friction is 6.00×10-2. Since you can't walk up the incline, you give the box a push that gives it an initial velocity; then the box slides up the incline, slowing down under the forces of friction and gravity. Take acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 m/s².
