Block A (m = 5 kg), seen in the figure, sits on a smooth surface and is attached by a slender rod to a ball-and-socket joint at B. If the moment and force shown are simultaneously applied to the block, what will the speed of the block be after 4 seconds (starting from rest)?
A block of wood with a weight of 30 N is held by a spring with a stiffness of 2 N/mm, as shown in the figure below. A bullet with a weight of 2 N is fired at a speed of 20 m/s into a speed of 20 m/s into the block and sinks into it. Assuming that all the momentum of the bullet is transferred to the block, the motion of the bullet is entirely transferred to the block at the moment of impact, we ask to calculate the maximum displacement of the block a) neglecting damping and b) assuming that the damping is 10% critical. ..

Two blocks with masses m1 = 5.0 kg and m2 = 7.0 kg are attached by a string as shown in the figure below, over a pulley with mass M = 2.0 kg. The blocks are released from rest. The pulley, which turns on a frictionless axle, is a hollow cylinder with radius 0.050 m over which the string moves without slipping. The horizontal surface is frictionless. Find the speed of the system when the block of mass m2 has dropped 2 m.
An aluminum sphere weighing 130 lbf is suspended from a spring, whereupon the spring is stretch 2.5 ft from its natural length.

An object with mass m = 3.0 kg is released from rest from a height H = 10 m as shown in the figure. It slides down the incline at angle θ = 39° and collides with a spring that has a spring constant k = 1800 N/m. The coefficient of kinetic friction is not constant over the incline, but increases linearly with a distance as μ k (x) = αx, where α is constant and its value is 0.052 m −1 and x is distance in meters. The horizontal surface is frictionless. What distance that the spring will be compressed? (Your result must be in meters and include 2 digit after the decimal point. Maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g=9.8 m/s2.)
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.

A block of mass m= 2.0 kg is released from rest on an inclined plane at a height of h = 1.5 m. It moves down the rough incline with slope theta= 30.0°and continues on the horizontal frictionless surface. As shown in the figure, there is a spring with negligible mass and force constant k = 300 N/m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is 0.250 What is the speed of the block when it gets down on the horizontal surface before it touches the spring? The box continues to move on the horizontal surface and compresses the spring. What will be the maximum compression of the spring?
