A 1520-N crate is to be held in place on a ramp that rises at 30.0° above the horizontal (see figure). The massless rope attached to the crate makes a 22.0° angle above the surface of the ramp. The coefficients of friction between the crate and the surface of the ramp are uk = 0.450 and us = 0.650. The pulley has no appreciable mass or friction. What is the MAXIMUM weight w that can be used to hold this crate stationary on the ramp? w = ? Crate 22.0 Ramp 30,0
You are playing a game and you push a cart to give it in. speed. The cart starts at the bottom (zero) of a ramp and after reaching the top of the ramp, the cart travels across a horizontal track w/ friction. The mass of the cart is 44 x 10^-3 kg. The ramp is 56 cm high. The length is 70 cm. What can you infer of the intial speed in (m/s)

A desperate hiker has to think fast to help his friend who has fallen below him. Quickly, he ties a rope to a rock of mA = 405 kg and makes his way over the ledge (see the figure below). If the coefficient of static friction between the rock and the ground is H=0.348, and the mass of the hiker is ma= 70.1 kg, what is the maximum mass of the friend, mc, that the rock can hold so the hikers can then make their way up over the ledge? Assume the rope is parallel to the ground and the point where the rope passes over the ledge is frictionless. (ANS: 70.8 kg)
A 1500 kg car starts from rest at the top of the driveway that is sloped at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. An average friction force of 3500 N impedes the car’s motion so that car’s speed at the bottom of the driveway is 4.2 m/s. What is the length of the driveway?
