Chapter 4, Problem 53P
An elastic towrope has spring constant 1300 N/m. It’s connected between a truck and a 1900-kg car. As the truck tows the car, the rope stretches 55 cm. Starting from rest, how far do the truck and the car move in 1 min? Assume the car experiences negligible friction.

A woman pushes an initially stationary 11.3 kg gift up a 15.90 ramp a distance of 7.21 m. If she pushes with constant force of 84.0 N and the coefficient of friction is 0.333, what is the final velocity of the gift?
A 14 kg block measures 7 cm by 9 cm by 25 cm. When it slides on a 9 cm by 25 cm face, it moves with constant speed when pulled horizontally by a force whose magnitude is 17 N. How big a horizontal force must be applied to pull it with constant speed if it slides on a 7 cm by 25 cm face?
A block with mass m = 14.9 kg slides down an inclined plane of slope angle 18.8o with a constant velocity. It is then projected up the same plane with an initial speed 2.95 m/s. How far up the incline will the block move before coming to rest?
