Question
At a family picnic you are appointed to push your obnoxious cousin
Throckmorton in a swing . 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. To do this, you exert a varying horizontal force F S
that starts at zero and gradually increases just enough that Throcky
and the swing move very slowly and remain very nearly in equilibrium
throughout the process. (a) What is the total work done on Throcky by
all forces? (b) What is the work done by the tension T in the chains? (c)
What is the work you do by exerting force F ? (Ignore the weight of the
chains and seat.)

It is attached to a string of negligible mass that goes over an ideal pulley. The other end of the string is attached to another block of mass m, = 11.9 kg, as shown below. The wheels on the cart are good enough that friction between the cart and the ramp is negligible. If the blocks are given an initial speed of v, = 9.1 m/s (with m, moving down the plane), what is the common magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks?

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. Part A Use the work-energy theorem to calculate the minimum speed that you must give the box at the bottom of the incline so that it will reach the Express your answer numerically, in meters per second. ► View Available Hint(s) V= ΕΠΙΑΣΦΑ A20 ^ ? m/sarrow_forward
