3 - In the figure, the 200-lb crate is being pulled up the slope by the motor M.

Show the complete solution. Put notes on steps. The wooden block (mass m = 0.6165 kg) is released from rest at A by a compressed spring (compressed length 0.6 m, undeformed length 1 m, spring constant k = 150 N/m). The block is allowed to slide through the rough horizontal surface (A to B), then along the smooth circular ramp (B to C, central angle 0 = 45°, until the block is released after point C. Calculate the speed of the block at points B and C. Also, what is the magnitude of the normal force exerted to the block just before the block leaves the ramp? Neglect the geometry of the block.NOTE: Use Work-Energy Method to solve for the speeds; use Force-Mass-Acceleration (FMA) Method to compute for the normal force.

A block of mass m= 2.0 kg is released from rest on an inclined plane at a height of h = 1.5 m. It moves down the rough incline with slope theta= 30.0°and continues on the horizontal frictionless surface. As shown in the figure, there is a spring with negligible mass and force constant k = 300 N/m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is 0.250 What is the speed of the block when it gets down on the horizontal surface before it touches the spring? The box continues to move on the horizontal surface and compresses the spring. What will be the maximum compression of the spring?
