Suppose there are two blocks constructed so that one is twice as massive as the other but they both are the same size and shape. If they are both dropped into free fall on, say, the moon, where there is no atmosphere, would they fall at the same rate? If they were dropped on Earth would they still fall at exactly the same rate, would the heavier one fall twice as fast, or something different? Explain what you think happens when the two blocks are dropped on Earth.

Suppose that two blocks are positioned on an Atwood machine so that the block on the right of mass m1 hangs at a lower elevation than the block on the left of mass m2. Both blocks are at rest. Based on this observation, what can you conclude? A) m1>m2 B) m1<m2 C) m1=m2 D) You cannot conclude anything with the given information.

You are considering two columns with identical dimensions. One is constructed out of steel, the other aluminium, which will buckle at a smaller load? The euler formula for critical buckling force for column, pin jointed at both ends is given by Pcr = pi^2 EI/ L^2 if the end of the column are constrained to prevent rotation, how will the buckling force change?

Consider that you have two blocks and they are connected to each other with a spring. Block AA has mass 1.00 kgkg, and block BB has mass 3.00 kgkg. The blocks are compressed with a spring SS between them; then the system is released from rest on a level, frictionless surface. The spring, which has negligible mass, is not fastened to either block and drops to the surface after it has expanded. The spring has force constant 720 N/mN/m and is...

Problem: Two blocks for masses m1 and m2 are stacked on top of each other and placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The surfaces between two blocks is rough and has a coeff of static friction, us. A horiz push of magnitude, F, directed to the right is applied on the bottom block. A. Derive an expression for the maximum horizontal force, F, that can be applied on the bottom block, m1, before the top block m2, begins to slip....

A \(m_{1}=1.10-\mathrm{kg}\) aluminum block and a \(m_{2}=6.15-\mathrm{kg}\) copper block are connected by a light string over a frictionless pulley. The two blocks are allowed to move on a fixed steel block wedge (of angle \(\theta=30.5^{\circ}\) ) as shown in the figure. (For aluminum on steel, \(\mu_{s}=0.61\) and \(\mu_{k}=0.47\). For copper on steel, \(\mu_{\mathrm{s}}=0.53\) and \(\mu_{k}=0.36 .\).)(a) the acceleration of the two blocks(b) the tension in the string

Suppose a person’s life is divided into two main blocks, periods 1 and 2. The consumer does not desire to perfectly smooth consumption over the two periods. In particular, preferences are such that c2 = 0.5 ∗ c1. Income in the two periods is equal to y1 = 500 and y2 = 1000, and income taxes are proportional τ1 = 50% and τ2 = 50%. The real interest rate is r = 0%. (a) What is the present value of...
