1. Two masses are connected by a cord and accelerates to the left. M1 has a mass of 20 kg and rests on an incline plane at 37 degrees with respect to the horizontal while m2 has a mass of 10 kg and is hanging above the floor. Find the magnitude of the acceleration and the tension in the cord assuming that there is no friction between the block and the inclined plane. 2. In the previous problem, suppose that the 10 kg block, instead of hanging, lies on a horizontal, frictionless surface to the right of the pulley and the 10 kg mass is horizontal. Calculate the following:a. The acceleration of the blocks.b. The tension in the cable.

In the figure, masses of a sphere of radius r and mass m are compressed between two neglected rods. The length of the bars is indicated by l, and the angle they make with the vertical by the angle. The force applied from the ends of the rods is in the horizontal direction and its magnitude is given by P. Friction between sphere and rods is neglected. Therefore, find the acceleration of the sphere in the vertical direction when the angle is 30º in terms of the given magnitudes. Note: Treat the sphere as the material point.
