FIGUREshows a block of mass m resting on a slope. The block has coefficients of friction and with the surface. It is connected via a massless string over a massless, frictionless pulley to a hanging block of mass .
a. What is the minimum mass m that will stick and not slip?
b. If this minimum mass is nudged ever so slightly, it will start being pulled up the incline. What acceleration will it have?
Blocks with masses of are lined up in a row on a frictionless table. All three are pushed forward by a force applied to the block.
a. How much force does the block exert on the block?
b. How much force does the block exert on theblock?
A very smart -year-old child is given a wagon for her birthday. She refuses to use it. 鈥淎fter all,鈥 she says, 鈥淣ewton鈥檚 third law says that no matter how hard I pull, the wagon will exert an equal but opposite force on me. So I will never be able to get it to move forward.鈥 What would you say to her in reply?
The sled dog in the figure drags sleds A and B across the snow. The coefficient of friction between the sleds and the snow is If the tension in rope iswhat is the tension in rope

A tightrope walker stands at the center of a rope. The rope supports are apart and the rope sags at each end. The tightrope walker crouches down, then leaps straight up with an acceleration of to catch a passing trapeze. What is the tension in the rope as he jumps?
