A block of mass m1 = 6 kg on a rough 30°-inclined plane is connected to a 4-kg mass (m2) by a string of negligible mass passing over a pulley shaped like a ring. The 2-kg pulley has radius 20 cm and rotates about its symmetry axis of rotation. The string causes the blocks and the pulley to rotate without slipping and without friction. The 6-kg block (m1) on the 30°slope is initially pressed against a spring near the bottom of a long rough incline, compressing the spring by 50 cm. The spring is not attached to the block and has a spring constant is 500 N/m. When the system is released, the spring returns to its equilibrium length as it projects the 6-kg block (m1) toward the top of the incline. Assume that the spring just loses contact with the block (m1) at the instant it returns to its equilibrium length. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block (m1) and the surface of the incline is 0.2. By considering the conservation of energy and any other suitable methods: (a) Calculate the speed of the blocks at the instant the spring first returns to its equilibrium length. [v = 3.2 m/s] (b) What is the total angular momentum of the system when the spring first returns to its equilibrium length? [7.7 kg.m2/s] (c) By considering the total angular momentum of the system, find the rate of change of the angular momentum of the system after the blocks lose contact with the spring. [-0.08 m.N] (d) What is the net torque causing the angular acceleration of the system after the blocks lose contact with the spring? [-0.08 m.N]

Please answer these questions:
1) A man stands on the edge of the roof of a 15.0-m tall building and throws a rock with a speed of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 33.3⁰ above the horizontal. Ignore air resistance. Calculate: the total time that the rock spends in the air?
2) A ball is thrown upward at an unknown angle with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s from the edge of a 45.0-m-high cliff. At the instant the ball is thrown, a woman starts running away from the base of the cliff with a constant speed of 6.00 m/s. The woman runs in a straight line on level ground, and air resistance acting on the ball can be ignored. At what angle above the horizontal should the ball be thrown so that the runner catches it just before it hits the ground, and how far does the woman run before she catches the ball?

A stick is resting on a concrete step with 1/6 of its total length ? hanging over the edge. A single ladybug lands on the end of the stick hanging over the edge, and the stick begins to tip. A moment later, a second, identical ladybug lands on the other end of the stick, which results in the stick coming momentarily to rest at θ=62.1∘ with respect to the horizontal, as shown in the figure.
If the mass of each bug is 3.43 times the mass of the stick and the stick is 12.7 cm long, what is the magnitude of the angular acceleration ? of the stick at the instant shown?
