In the figure, two blocks are shown with an inclined plane. The two blocks are connected by a massless string strung over a massless pulley. The mass of Block #1 is 3.57 kg and that of Block #2 is 11.0 kg. The angle θ of the incline is 43.0 degrees. The plane is NOT smooth and has a coefficient of static friction of 0.570 and a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.240.


Taking the positive direction to be up the incline, determine the following:

(a) the acceleration of Block #1 if it is initially at rest.
m/s2
(b) the acceleration of Block #1 if it is already moving up the plane.
m/s2
(c) the acceleration of Block #1 if it is already moving down the plane.
m/s2

Two blocks are connected by a string that passes over a massless, frictionless pulley, as shown in the figure. Block A, with a mass mA = 2.00 kg, rests on a ramp measuring 3.0 m vertically and 4.0 m horizontally. Block B hangs vertically below the pulley. Note that you can solve this exercise entirely using forces and the constant-acceleration equations, but see if you can apply energy ideas instead. Use g = 10 m/s2. When the system is released...
