Question
Block B, with mass 5.00 kg, rests on block A, with mass 8.00 kg, which in turn is on a horizontal tabletop (the figure (Figure 1)). There is no friction between block A and the tabletop, but the coefficient of static friction between block A and block B is 0.750. A light string attached to block A passes over a frictionless, massless pulley, and block C is suspended from the other end of the string.
a) What is the largest mass that block C can have so that blocks A and B still slide together when the system is released from rest?

- Consider the system shown in the figure (Figure 1). Block A weighs 45.1 NN and block B weighs 24.6 NN . Once block B is set into downward motion, it descends at a constant speed. 1. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the tabletop. 2. A cat, also of weight 45.1 NN , falls asleep on top of block A. If block B is now set into downward motion, what is its acceleration magnitude?arrow_forwardYou place blocks A and B on a ramp. The center of mass of each block is drawn in the figure below (the dark dots inside the blocks). There is enough friction to prevent blocks from sliding down. But will the bocks A or B topple over?

The sum of the forces T1, T2, and T3 on the knot needs to be zero :) 0 140 15o 160 170 14o 190 200 210 220 230 %3| OPASCO sdientic CAUTION CAUTION MAE HANDERS MASS HNOERS 310 320 Model ME-9447 FORCE TABLE 20 10arrow_forward

If the vertical force F acts on the edge of the cup, so that it lengthens. Find the magnitude of this force. As soon as it is about to tilt, the vertical reaction force acts on A.arrow_forwardUse the diagram to answer the question Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 52.8 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the top of the inclines as shown, so the blocks can slide together. The mass of the black block is 4.60 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for both blocks and inclines is 0.530. Assume static friction has been overcome and that everything can slide.

Each puck collides with and sticks to a rod that can move or rotate with negligible friction. In all four cases, the pucks are identical, the rods are identical, the initial rightward velocities of the puck are identical, and the initial velocities of the pucks are perpendicular to the rods' lengths. In Cases A and D, the rod is fixed to the table by a pin with negligible friction, but in Cases B and C, the rod is free to move. Cases A and C, the puck collides with the center of the rod.

- In the figure at the right is shown three graphs of the shapes of the same taut elastic string in three different circumstances, labeled A, B, and C. In some of the problems below, the string represents a guitar string, tied down at both ends, while in others, it is part of a very long telephone wire whose ends are not shown. Be careful to note which is which for each problem! The string is light enough that the effects of gravity can be ignored. In each case, the bit of string at the position x = 23 cm is painted blue. 4. Suppose that graph C represents part of a long wire, under tension, and is showing a left traveling wave at a particular instant. What can you say about the velocity of the blue bead in case C at the instant shown? a. It is upward. b. It is downward. c. It is 0. d. You cant say anything from the information given. 5.
