Consider two peoplepushing a toboggan with four children on it up a snowcovered slope. Construct a problem in which you calculatethe acceleration of the toboggan and its load. Include a freebody diagram of the appropriate system of interest as thebasis for your analysis. Show vector forces and theircomponents and explain the choice of coordinates. Amongthe things to be considered are the forces exerted by thosepushing, the angle of the slope, and the masses of thetoboggan and children.

Consider a pair of masses m1 and m2 connected by a non-stretchable string that runs over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure on the right. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and the horizontal surface on which it initially rests is μk, find its resulting acceleration magnitude in terms of m1, m2, and μk, when the system is released. Assume that air resistance is negligible and m2 > μk m1.
