A block with mass m1 = 8.1 kg rests on the surface of a horizontal table which has a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk = 0.61. A second block with a mass m2 = 10.7 kg is connected to the first by an ideal string passing over an ideal pulley such that the second block is suspended vertically. The second block is released from rest, and motion occurs. a)Block 1 accelerates ac)long the tabletop, in the horizontal direction, while block 2 moves vertically. With the coordinate system provided in the drawing, we may write ai1=a1i^a→1=a1i^ and ai 2=a2y^a→2=a2y^.

A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.
