The figure shows a 100-kg block being released from rest from a height of 1.0 m. It then takes 0.64 s for it to reach the floor. What is the mass m of the block on the left? There is no friction or mass in the pulley, and the connecting rope is very light.
A block with a mass of 10.09 kg is placed on a ramp. The ramp has an incline of ? = 25.7 degrees from the horizontal. The static coefficient of friction between the block and ramp is μs = 0.211, and the kinetic coefficient of friction between the block and ramp is μk = 0.112. A force, F, is exerted on the block as shown. Note that the force F is parallel with the ramp. What is the smallest value (magnitude) for the force, F, in Newtons that can be exerted on the block to hold the block stationary on the ramp? What is the largest value (magnitude) for the force, F, in Newtons that can be exerted on the block while still holding the block stationary on the ramp? What value (magnitude) for the force, F, is needed to move the block up the ramp at a constant speed?
A desperate hiker has to think fast to help his friend who has fallen below him. Quickly, he ties a rope to a rock of mA = 405 kg and makes his way over the ledge (see the figure below). If the coefficient of static friction between the rock and the ground is H=0.348, and the mass of the hiker is ma= 70.1 kg, what is the maximum mass of the friend, mc, that the rock can hold so the hikers can then make their way up over the ledge? Assume the rope is parallel to the ground and the point where the rope passes over the ledge is frictionless. (ANS: 70.8 kg)
