Basic Concepts


A box of mass m is on a horizontal surface, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and surface is μ. A force \( \vec{F} \) is applied making an angle α with the horizontal.
a) For what value of the angle α, the acceleration of the box is maximum?
b) For what values ​​of α the box remains at rest?

Inclined Planes


Two blocks, with masses mA and mB, are released from the rest on very long inclined planes. Block A is on a plane that makes an angle α with the horizontal, and block B is on a plane with an angle β. Assume the acceleration due to gravity is equal to g, and there is no friction between the blocks and the inclined planes. Determine the ratio of distances traveled by the blocks until both have the same speed.

In an inclined plane AB of 45º to the horizontal, a body is launched in an upward direction rests for an instant returning to point A. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is   \( 2-\sqrt{3\;} \). Determine the ratio between the interval of time to the body go from A to B and to return from B to A.

A cart moves over a straight and horizontal surface. In the cart, there is an inclined plane that makes an angle θ with the horizontal, and on the inclined plane is placed a body. Determine the acceleration of the cart for the body to remain at rest on the inclined plane. Neglect the friction between the body and the inclined plane and assume g for the acceleration due to gravity.

A cart moves over a straight and horizontal surface. In the cart there is an inclined plane, it makes an angle θ with the horizontal plane. On the plane is placed a body, the coefficient of friction between the body and the plane is μ. Determine the acceleration of the cart, so that the body is about to rise the plane. Assume g for the acceleration due to gravity.

Atwood Machine


An Atwood machine is arranged in such a way that the masses M1 and M2 slide without friction over two inclined planes with angles of 30° and 60º to the horizontal, rather than moving vertically. Assuming that the ropes that support the masses M1 and M2 are parallel to the planes. Determine:
a) The ratio between M1 and M2 for the system to remain in equilibrium;
b) Calculate the acceleration and tension force on the rope when the masses are equal, each at 5 kg.
Assume the acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.81 m/s2.

A 12 kg mass body is suspended by a system of pulleys and cords, as shown in the figure, a man pulls the rope with a force of 18 N. Assuming that the pulleys have no weight and there is no friction between the pulleys and cords and they are inextensible and massless. Will the body rise or descend? What is acceleration? The acceleration due to gravity is g = 10 m/s2.

In the system shown in the figure, pulleys 1 and 2 are massless and without friction, pulley 1 is fixed and pulley 2 is mobile. Block A has a mass of 11 kg and block B rises with an acceleration of 1 m/s2. Determine the acceleration of block A, the mass of block B, and the tension force on the rope. Assume the acceleration due to gravity is equal to 10 m/s2.

A rope passes through a fixed pulley in the ceiling, at one end there is a block of mA = 36 kg, and at the other end a pulley 2. By this second pulley passes a rope in whose ends are mB = 16 kg and mC = 8 kg (this system is a double Atwood machine). Calculate the accelerations of the masses and the tension force on the rope. Neglect the masses and frictions on the pulleys, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is equal to 10 m/s2.

An Atwood machine consists of a block A, with mass equal to 100 kg, and a block B, with mass equal to 300 kg with the shape of a cube of edge equal to 0.60 m immersed in a container with water. The blocks are attached by an inextensible rope and negligible mass that passes through a frictionless pulley and negligible mass. Determine:
a) Acceleration of the system;
b) The tension force on the rope that connects the masses.
Assume the density of water is equal to 1000 kg/m3, and the acceleration due to gravity is equal to 10 m/s2.
