Two blocks, A and B, were moving together at 2m/s velocity towards the right on the horizontal surface. B was pulled by the 100 N force. Suddenly, the 100 N force was removed. Assume the interfaces between A and B, between B and the floor are both frictional. From this point on, which of the figures below shows a correct free-body diagram of the horizontal forces acting on the lower block B?
Block B with a mass of 13kg A with a mass of 27kg stands on the corner as shown in the figure. The kinetic coefficient of friction between the block and the angle is 0.25 and the static coefficient of friction is 0.30, and there is no friction between the angle and the horizontal surface and the pulleys.
(I) calculate the maximum mass of Block C, which will ensure that Block B does not shift over the corner a.
(ii) if the mass of Block C is 13 %greater than the mass calculated in option (i), calculate the acceleration of Block B and C of the angle A in m/s2
suppose twoo children push horizontally but in exactly opposite directions on a third child on a sled. The first child exters a force of 75N, the second a force of 98N, kinetic friction is 5.5N and the mass of the third child pus the sled is 21kg.Using a coordinate system where the second child is pushing in the postive direction, calculate the accelteration in m/s2.
