Sliding blocks with friction*

/ 3.2
Mass Ma = 4 kg rests on top of mass MB = 5kg that rests on a fric-
tionless table. The coefficient of friction between the two blocks is
such that the blocks just start to slip when the horizontal force F
applied to the lower block is 27"Nÿ Suppose that now a horizontal
force is applied to the upper block. What is its maximum value for
the blocks to slide without slipping relative to each other?

-3.4 Synchronous orbit*
Find the radius of the orbit of a synchronous sate!lite that circles
the Earth. (A synchronous satellite goes around the Earth once ev-
ery 24 h, so that its position appears stationary with respect to a
ground station.) The simplest way to find the answer mad give your
results is by expressing all distances in terms of the Earth's radius

im A mass m is connected to a vertica! revolving axle by two strings of
length l, each making an angle of 45° with the axle, as shown. Both
, the axle and mass are revolving with angular velocity ÿo. Gravity
is directed downward.

A block rests on a wedge inclined at angle 0. The coefficient of
friction between the block and plane is u.
(a) Find the maximum value of 0 for the' block to remain
motionless on the wedge when the Wedge is fixed in position.
(b) The wedge is given horizontal acceleration a, as shown.
Assuming that tan 0 > ,u, find the minimum acceleration for the
block to remain on the wedge without sliding.
(c) Repeat part (b), but find the maximum value of the accelera-
tion.
