A wedge of mass M rests on a rough horizontal surface with coeﬃcient of friction µ. The face of the wedge is a smooth plane inclined at an angle θ to the horizontal. A mass A hangs from a light string which passes over a smooth peg at the upper end of the wedge and attaches to a mass B which slides without friction on the face of the wedge.

(i) Find the accelerations for the masses A and B, and the tension in the string when µ is very large.
(ii) Find the smallest coeﬃcient of friction for which the wedge will remain at rest.

A block with the mass M slides with no friction on a horizontal surface (no friction) with speed x when it collides and sticks to the second block with also mass M that is attached to a third block with mass M via an ideal spring with spring constant k. Before collision, spring has its natural length and the blocks attached to it are at rest. Find an expression for the maximum kinetic energy of the third block post collision...

a)An object of mass ?m rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. A constant horizontal force of magnitude ?F is applied to the object. This force produces an acceleration: always only if ?F is larger than the weight of the object only while the object suddenly changes from rest to motion only if ?F is increasing choice A b)Now let there be friction between the surface and the object. If the object has a mass of 10 kg, and ??μs =...

A crate of mass 100.0 kg rests on a rough surface inclined at an angle of 37.0° with the horizontal. A massless rope to which a force can be applied parallel to the surface is attached to the crate and leads to the top of the incline. In its present state, the crate is just ready to slip and start to move down the plane. The coefficient of friction is 80% of that for the static case a. What is the...

A block of mass m = 1.0 kg sliding along a rough horizontal surface is traveling at a speed v0 = 10.0m/s when it strikes a massless spring head-on (see figure) and compresses the spring a maximum distance X =0.25m. If the spring has stiffness constant k = 100. N/m, determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface.
