Problem 1: In the figure to the right, m1=20.0kg and α=53.1o . The
coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline
is µk=0.40. a) What must be the mass m2 of the hanging block if it
is to descend 12.0 m in the first 2.00 s after the system is
released from rest? b) For the µk in the problem, what mass m2 will
provide constant velocity of m1 down the incline? c) Suppose µs is
0.7, what is the maximum mass m2 that will still cause no

Very short pulses of high-intensity laser beams are used to repair detached portions of the retina of the eye. The brief pulses of energy absorbed by the retina welds the detached portion back into place. In one such procedure, a laser beam has a wavelength of 810 nmand delivers 250 mW of power spread over a circular spot 510 μm in diameter. The vitreous humor (the transparent fluid that fills most of the eye) has an index of refraction of 1.34.
