A farsighted woman breaks her current eyeglasses and is using an old pair whose refractive power is 1.785 diopters. Since these eyeglasses do not completely correct her vision, she must hold a newspaper 42.00 cm from her eyes in order to read it. She wears the eyeglasses 2.00 cm from her eyes. How far is her near point from her eyes?

A block with mass m1 = 8.9 kg is on an incline with an angle θ = 31° with respect to the horizontal. For the first question there is no friction between the incline and the block.
1)When there is no friction, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block?
2)Now with friction, the acceleration is measured to be only a = 3.13 m/s2. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the incline and the block?
3)To keep the mass from accelerating, a spring is attached with spring constant k = 157 N/m. What is the coefficient of static friction if the spring must extend at least x = 16 cm from its unstretched length to keep the block from moving down the plane?
4)The spring is replaced with a massless rope that pulls horizontally to prevent the block from moving. What is the tension in the rope?
5)Now a new block is attached to the first block. The new block is made of a different material and has a coefficient of static friction μ = 0.9. What minimum mass is needed to keep the system from accelerating?
please please help me please

I ask that you complete a project consisting of the following: (2) a 2 or 3 dimensional physical model of an inclined plane (ramp) including force vectors of the given problem. (1) a paper was written on the problem explaining the role of each force in the problem. The paper must include the equations and free body diagram of all forces acting on the system. Students should solve the equations for acceleration of the system while explaining each step taken The physical model Students should start this project by analyzing the motion of two boxes which are connected by a light string that passes over a pulley. One of the boxes is hanging from the string and the other one is resting on inclined plane that rises at angle θ. The mass of the hanging box is M, and mass of the box on the surface of inclined plane (ramp) is m. We consider that the system is moving up the plane at a constant acceleration a. The physical model can be built in 2 dimensions or 3 dimensions using light and stiff materials. All the force vectors should be movable and labeled correctly. The size of the vectors should be appropriate to the problem. The model should be presentable and at college level. Be creative! No excessive decoration: simple and meaningful.
I understand that this is a project, I would just like some guidance on how to set this up and what formulas to use to demonstrate what is being asked.
