A train car is accelerating with an unknown acceleration. There is a small mass hanging from a string that is attached to the ceiling of the train car. Because the train is accelerating forward, the mass is angled backwards at 6.4 deg. from the vertical. What is the magnitude of the train's acceleration?

At t = 0, a cart of mass m = 5 kg starts rolling down an incline, making an angle α = 20o with the horizontal. Initially the cart rolls down with no friction, but after traveling a distance of ∆ = 10 m it encounters a rough surface, where the coefficient of friction is k = 0.45.

Using a rope that will snap if the tension in it exceeds 387 N, you need to lower a bundle of old roofing material weighing 449 N from a point 6.1 m above the ground. Obviously if you hang the bundle on the rope, it will snap. So, you allow the bundle to accelerate downward. (a)What magnitude of the bundle’s acceleration will put the rope on the verge of snapping? (b) At that acceleration, with what speed would the bundle hit the ground?
