2. A block of mass m rests on a plane inclined at 0 with the horizontal. The block is attached to a spring of constant k as shown in Figure-2. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and plane are µs and µx respectively. Very slowly, the spring is pulled upward along the plane until the block starts to move. (a) Obtain an expression for the extension d of the spring the instant the block moves. (b) Determine the value of µg such that the block comes to rest just as the spring is in its unstressed condition, that is, neither extended nor compressed. m

HW Question: Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley, as shown in the figure below. The block of mass m1 = 16.8 kg lies on a horizontal surface and is connected to a spring that has a spring constant k which is really not constant but varies according to the function k=c*x^2 [N/m], where c = 0.231 (constant) with appropriate units. In addition, there is a force of friction acting on m1, such that the coefficient of friction µ is also not constant: μ=bx [unitless], where b is a constant with appropriate units. (a) What are the units of b and c? (b) The system is released from rest when the spring is at its equilibrium length. If the hanging block of mass m2 = 8.45 kg falls a distance h = 1.51 m before it comes to rest, calculate the value of the constant b (don’t forget units).
