At the moment of release, the spring is compressed 0.75 m. The surface between points A and B is well greased and can be considered to be frictionless, how- ever the surface between points B and C'is run- ning out of grease and so has a variable coeffi cient of kinetic friction given by: jue, with w= 005m”, Arely Wa RWE ah dha ‘The quantity = 0.3 m and the angle f = 62°. wa Shon A 1 oe Determine the distance x at the point at which the mass comes to rest on the incline.

The two collars are connected by a cord running over a pulley that is attached to the frame at O. At the instant shown, the velocity va of collar A is into the page, it has a magnitude of 2.1m/s, and a stop (not shown) is preventing collar B from moving. If the stop is suddenly removed, de- termine the velocity of collar A when it is 0.2m from O. Assume that collar B does not hit O, that collar A does not come off the rod OF, and that the mass of the rod is negligible.

Discuss the constancy or lack thereof of: the linear momen- ‘tum, angular momentum, net force on A, and kinetic energy of the mass A. This is a concept question—no calculations are needed.
