Problem 1

Initially at rest, $2$ masses $3m$ and $5m$ hang on $2$ ends of a massless rope on a massless, smooth pulley and the mass $3m$ hangs $l$ feet above the ground. Once the system is released, what is the speed of the $3m$ block when it strikes the ground?


Problem 2

An equilateral triangle has a side length of $s$. How high above the base of the triangle the center of mass of the triangle located?


Problem 3

A small object of mass $m$ is tied to a string of length $l$ and is whirled around a horizontal circle of radius $r$ with a constant speed $v$, in a conical pendulum. The center of the circle is vertically below the point of support. What is the period of revolution?


Problem 4

$2$ blocks are connected by a massless string which slide down an inclined plane having an angle of inclination of $40^\circ$. The masses of the blocks are $M1 = 4 kg$ and $M2 = 2kg$, and $M1$ is above $M2$. Both blocks have a Coefficients of friction $0.25$ with the inclined plane. What is the tension in the string?


Problem 5

An massless object is thrown upwards in a projectile path, at an angle of $\theta$ with a velocity $v$. What is the equation of the trajectory of the object’s path? (Write as simplified as possible).

Problem 6

A block of mass $m$ initially at rest, is dropped from height $h$ above a spring of spring constant $k$. What is the maximum compression of the spring?
