A block of mass 3 kg slides down an inclined plane at an angle of 45° with a massless tether attached to a pulley with mass 1 kg and radius 0.5 m at the top of the incline (see the following figure). The pulley can be approximated as a disk. The coefficient of kinetic friction on the plane is 0.4. What is the acceleration of the block?

Engineers who design roads typically “bank” (incline) curves in such a way that a car traveling at the recommended speed does not have to rely on friction between its tires and the road in order to round the curve. Suppose the radius of curvature of a road segment is 55 m, and the recommended speed is 45 km/hr. At what angle should the curve be banked?
