A 200-kg log is pulled up a ramp by means of a rope that is parallel to the surface of the ramp. The ramp is inclined at 34.5° with respect to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the log and the ramp is 0.870, and the log has an acceleration of 0.750 m/s2. Find the tension in the rope.

A light spring with force constant 3.80 N/m is compressed by 7.60 cm as it is held between a 0.300-kg block on the left and a 0.600-kg block on the right, both resting on a horizontal surface. The spring exerts a force on each block, tending to push the blocks apart. The blocks are simultaneously released from rest. Find the acceleration with which each block starts to move, given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is 0, 0.072, and 0.434. (Let the coordinate system be positive to the right and negative to the left. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Assume that the coefficient of static friction is the same as the coefficient of kinetic friction. If the block does not move, enter 0.)

Two blocks connected by a string are pulled across a horizontal surface by a force applied to one of the blocks, as shown below. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the surface is 0.25. If each block has an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 to the right, what is the magnitude F of the applied force?
A 40.0-N crate starting at rest slides down a rough 6.00-m-long ramp, inclined at 30.0 degrees with the horizontal. The magnitude of the force of friction between the crate and the ramp is 6.0 N. What is the speed of the crate at the bottom of the incline?
Two blocks 1 and 2 are connected by a rope over a pulley as shown. The pulley is very light (massless) and rotates with essentially no friction. Calculate the mass of block 1, m1, given that the mass of block 2 is m2=5.5 kg and that block 2 moves and accelerates downwards at 3.57 m/s2 when θ=35∘ and μk=0.4. I think that I need to be using Newtons second law but I just dont know how to solve this. Can you please help?
A mass of 0.10 slug in space is subjected to an external vertical force of 4 lb. If the local gravity acceleration is g=30.5 fps^2 and if friction effects are neglected, determine the acceleration of the mass in fps^2 if the external vertical force is acting upward.
Some sliding rocks approach the base of a hill with a speed of 12 m/s. The hill rises at 36° above the horizontal and has coefficients of kinetic friction and static friction of 0.45 and 0.65, respectively, with these rocks. (a) Find the acceleration of the rocks as they slide up the hill. (b) Once a rock reaches its highest point, will it stay there or slide down the hill? If it stays, show why. If it slides, find its acceleration on the way down.
