Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 53.7 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 6.98 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for both blocks and inclines is 0.420. Assume static friction has been overcome and that everything can slide. What is must be the mass of the white block if both blocks are to slide to the RIGHT at an acceleration of 1.5 m/s^2?
a. 5.19 kg
b. 2.46 kg

- A block of mass 1.96kg is accelerated across a rough surface by a rope passing over a pulley, as shown in the figure below. The tension in the rope is 14.0N, and the pulley is 10.8cm above the top of the block. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.350. Calculate the value of x at which the acceleration becomes zero.arrow_forwardYou are playing stuffleboard and you must slide your weighted disk 8m across the floor where it will come to rest on the target. You give it an initial push of 4 m/s but then it slides on its own to a stop. The disk is 0.8 kg.
