Consider the experimental scheme below where there is no friction between the blocks and the surface and wires and pulleys are ideal. Releasing block C from rest, the system starts a movement. In this situation, the magnitude of the contact force between blocks A and B is FAB=16.5 N. Blocks A and B have mass mA=5.11 kg and mB=4.57 kg. Consider g=10.0 m/s2.

Two blocks, M1 and M2, are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless pulley as shown in the figure. M2, which has a mass of 25.0 kg, rests on a long ramp of angle ?=25.0∘. Friction can be ignored in this problem. Determine the mass ?1 of block M1 for which the two blocks are in equilibrium (no acceleration). If the actual mass of M1 is 5.00 kg and the system is allowed to move, what is the acceleration ? of the two blocks? A positive acceleration corresponds to M2 moving up the incline. What distance ? does block M2 move in 2.00 s?
A block with a mass of m = 45 kg rests on a frictionless surface and is subject to two forces acting on it. The first force is directed in the negative x-direction with a magnitude of F1. The second has a magnitude of F2 and acts on the body at an angle θ = 17° measured from horizontal, as shown. 1) Write an expression for the magnitude of the normal force, FN, acting on the block, in terms of F2 and the other variables of the problem. Assume that the surface it rests on is rigid. 2) The two forces change such that F1 = 9.5 N and F2 = 23.5 N. Based on this change, the block may no longer be in static equilibrium. Find the block's acceleration in the x-direction, ax, in meters per second squared.
