A block of mass m1 = 22.9 kg is at rest on a plane inclined at ? = 30.0° above the horizontal. The block is connected via a rope and mass less pulley system to another block of mass m2 = 26.1 kg, as shown in the figure. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between block 1 and the inclined plane is ?k = 0.086. If the blocks are released from rest, what is the displacement of block 2 in the vertical direction after 1.50 s? Use positive numbers for the upward direction and negative numbers for the downward direction.

Step 1
First, we need to find the gravitational force acting on both blocks. For block 1, the gravitational force is $F_{g1} = m_1g = 22.9 \times 9.81$. For block 2, the gravitational force is $F_{g2} = m_2g = 26 \times 9.81$. Show more…

A block of mass m1 = 5.0 kg is at rest on a plane that makes an angle of 30.09° above the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the incline is 0.47. The block is attached to a second block of mass m2 that hangs freely by a string that passes over a frictionless and massless pulley. (a) Find the range of possible values for m2 for which the system will be in static equilibrium. (m2,max) kg, (m2,min) kg (b) What is the magnitude of the frictional force on the 5.0 kg block if m2 = 1.0 kg?

A block with mass $m_{1}$ is placed on an inclined plane with slope angle $\alpha$ and is connected to a second hanging block with mass $m_{2}$ by a cord passing over a small, frictionless pulley (Fig. P5.68). The coefficient of static friction is $\mu_{\mathrm{s}}$ and the coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_{\mathrm{k}}$ (a) Find the mass $m_{2}$ for which block $m_{1}$ moves up the plane at constant speed once it is set in motion. (b) Find the mass $m_{2}$ for which block $m_{1}$ moves down the plane at constant speed once it is set in motion. (c) For what range of values of $m_{2}$ will the blocks remain at rest if they are released from rest?
