A box is on a frictionless slope and is connected via a massless string over a massless, frictionless pulley to a hanging weight. The picture for this situation is similar to FIGURE P.
a. What is the tension in the string if the box is held in place, so that it cannot move?
b. If the box is then released, which way will it move on the slope?
c. What is the tension in the string once the box begins to move?
The physics book in FIGURE Pis connected by a string to a coffee cup. The book is given a push up the slope and released with a speed of . The coefficients of friction are and
a. How far does the book slide?
b. At the highest point, does the book stick to the slope, or does it slide back down?
The block of massM inFIGURE slides on a frictionless surface. Find an expression for the tension in the string
The given figure shows two masses at rest. The string is massless and the pulley is frictionless. The spring scale reads in kg. What is the reading of the scale?

A steel cable lying flat on the floor drags a block across a horizontal, frictionless floor. A force applied to the cable causes the block to reach a speed of in a distance of
What is the mass of the cable?
