A block of mass M = 0.5 kg is attached to one end of a light string going over a massless, frictionless pulley. The other end of the string is fixed at the floor while the pulley is attached to a spring with k = 50 N/m as indicated in the figure. The block is on a table which is hinged at the wall. At this position the spring is in equilibrium length. Then the table is released suddenly and the system starts to oscillate. What is the maximum speed of the block?

A uniform ladder stands on a rough floor and rests against a frictionless wall as shown in the figure. Since the floor is rough, it exerts both a normal force N1 and a frictional force f1 on the ladder. However, since the wall is frictionless, it exerts only a normal force N2 on the ladder. The ladder has a length of L = 4.0 m, a weight of WL = 69.0 N, and rests against the wall a distance d = 3.75 m above the floor. If a person with a mass of m = 90 kg is standing on the ladder, determine the following. (a) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is halfway up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.) N1 = N N2 = N f1 = N (b) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is three-fourths of the way up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.) N1 = N N2 = N f1 = N

A force P pulls a series of blocks initially at rest as shown in the figure where all cords are frictionless and incompressible, and all pulleys are frictionless. The 8-kg Block 1 is attached to a 5-kg Block 2. The coefficients of friction between Block 1 and the horizontal surface are 0.38 (static) and 0.27 (kinetic), while between Block 2 and the surface inclined at 28° are 0.40 (static) and 0.31 (kinetic). a. Determine the angle θ at thich Block 1 is being pulled to just get it moving if force P is 71.2 N. b.
