A man of mass m1 = 84kg wants to move a rectangular blo ck of mass M = 110kg on a at surface. The coefficient of static friction b etween the block and the surface is μs = 0.80. The co ecient of kinetic friction b etween the block and the surfaces is μk = 0.72. a) Initially a child of mass m2 = 27kg sits on top of the blo ck. If the man pushes horizontally on the block with a force of Fh = 990N, show whether the block will move or not.
A block of mass m is initially at rest at the top of an inclined plane, which has a height of 4.2 m and makes an angle θ = 17° with respect to the horizontal. After sliding down the ramp, the brick is observed to be moving at v = 0.95 m/s at a distance d from the end of the inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μp = 0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surface is μr = 0.2. 1. what is the speed of block, in meters per second, just after it leaves the inclined plane 2. find the distance, d, in meters

A 7 kg block measures 9 cm by 15 cm by 27 cm. When it slides on a 15 cm by 27 cm face, it moves with constant speed when pulled horizontally by a force whose magnitude is 15 N. How big a horizontal force must be applied to pull it with constant speed if it slides on a 9 cm by 27 cm face?
A horizontal force is applied to an object weighing 392 N that causes its speed to increase uniformly from 0 m/s to 6 m/s in 3 seconds. If we disregard the friction value, calculate the applied force
A block of mass m1 = 10.0 kg is connected to a block of mass m2 = 36.0 kg by a massless string that passes over a light, frictionless pulley. The 36.0-kg block is connected to a spring that has negligible mass and a force constant of k = 220 N/m. The spring is unstretched when the system is, and the incline is frictionless. The 10.0-kg block is pulled a distance h = 24.0 cm down the incline of angle ? = 40.0° and released from rest. Find the speed of each block when the spring is again unstretched. On a vertical plane vm1 = ___m/s vm2 = ____m/s.

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.
The drawing shows a cube (mass=26.6kg), being accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal surface P. A small cube (mass= 4.4kg) is in contact with the front surface of the large cube and will slide downward unless P is sufficiently large. The coefficient of static friction between the cubes is 0.710. What is the smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward?
The figure shows an object of mass ?1 = 1.0 kg on an inclined frictionless surface. The angle of theinclined surface is ? = 25 with respect to the horizontal. The object of mass ?1 is connected by anideal string over an ideal pulley to a second object of mass ?2 = 2.05 kg on a horizontal frictionlesssurface below the overhang that is formed by the inclined surface. Furthermore, an external force ofmagnitude ???? = 10 N is exerted on the object with a mass ?1. We observe both objects accelerate. i.
