In Figure P5.58 the incline has mass M and is fastened to the stationary horizontal tabletop. The block of mass m is placed near the bottom of the incline and is released with a quick push that sets it sliding upward. It stops near the top of the incline, as shown in the figure, and then slides down again, always without friction. Find the force that the tabletop exerts on the incline throughout this motion.

The x and y coordinates of a 4.00-kg particle moving in the xy plane under the influence of a net force F are given by x = t4 6t and y = 4t2 + 1, with x and y in meters and t in seconds. What is the magnitude of the force F at t = 4.00 s?
A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.
The starship Enterprise has its tractor beam locked onto some valuable debris and is trying to pull it toward the ship. A Klingon battle cruiser and a Romulan warbird are also trying to recover the item by pulling the debris with their tractor beams as shown in Figure P5.25. a. Given the following magnitudes of the tractor beam forces, find the net force experienced by the debris: FEnt = 7.59 106 N, FRom = 2.53 106 N, and FKling = 8.97 105 N. b.

Consider the system shown in Fig.. The rope and pulleyhave negligible mass, and the pulley is frictionless. Initially, the 6.00 kg block is moving downward and the 8.00 kg block is moving to the right, both with 1.50 m/s. Both blocks stop after moving 1.00 m. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 8.00 kg block and the tabletop? (Assuming no air resistance)
A light rope is attached to a block m, = 6.00kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope passes over a frictionless, massless pulley, and a block with mass m, is suspended from the other end. When the blocks are released, the tension in the rope is 17.0N.

Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each incline at the same angle of 59.8° with respect to the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the top of the incline as shown, so the blocks can slide together. The mass of the black block is 2.96 kg and the coefficient of kinetic friction for both blocks and inclines is 0.320. Assumes that it friction has been overcome and that everything and slide. What must be the mass of the white block if both blocks are to slide to the right at the content of velocity?
Karev is lowering two boxes, one on top of the other, down the ramp, as shown in the figure, by pulling on a rope parallel to the surface of the ramp. Both boxes move together at a constant speed of 15 cm/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the lower box is 0.444, and the coefficient of static friction between the two boxes is 0.800. (b) What are the magnitude of the friction force on the upper box?
A block of mass 2.00 kg starts from rest at the edge of the ramp as shown. It is pushed up the ramp by a 30.0 N force, F, acting parallel to the ramp as shown. The ramp makes an angle of 40.0° with the horizontal. Assume the ramp is smooth. When the block reaches the top of the ramp, the force F stops acting so that the block is only under the influence of gravity. It takes the block t=5 seconds to reach point A. The block is therefore launched from the top of the ramp and follows a parabolic trajectory in the air. Take the acceleration due to Earth's gravity to be 9.81 m/s². 40- How much time (measured starting at point A) does it take for the block to travel from the edge of the ramp (point A) to the top of its trajectory (point B)? Clearly show all work and steps.
You find it takes 190 N of horizontal force to move an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of 2.4 m/s . You then load up the pickup and pump up its tires so that its total weight increases by 42%while the coefficient of rolling friction decreases by 19%. Now what horizontal force will you need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed? The speed is low enough that you can ignore air resistance..
Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 57.9 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.
