Questions
Inclined Planes

1. No friction
a. m=50 kg =37o Fx=? Fy=? a=?
b. m=230 kg =60o Fx=? Fy=? a=?

2. With friction
a. m=10 kg =53o Ff=20 N Fx=? Fy=? a=? =?
b. m=13 kg =67.4o Ff=25 N Fx=? Fy=? a=? =?

3. A 75 kg skier accelerates from rest to a speed of 12 m/s in 3.0 seconds on a frictionless hill. What is the
slope of the hill? (24)

4. A 4.0 kg mass is attached to a 10. kg mass on a horizontal table via a pulley. The 4.0 kg mass hangs off
the edge of the table. Find the acceleration and tension forces involved. Assume there is NO friction.
( 2.8 m/s2, 28 N )

5. Repeat question #4 using a friction coefficient of 0.102 between the 10. kg mass and the horizontal
surface. (2.1 m/s2, 31 N)

6. A 16 kg mass is attached to another 12 kg mass by string. Both masses hang off a frictionless pulley.
(This is called Atwood’s machine). Determine the acceleration of the masses and the tension force in
the string. ( 1.4 m/s2 )

7. Use the diagram to the right to determine the acceleration of the system
and the tension force between mass A and B. A = 4.0 kg, B = 2.0 kg and A B
C = 5.0 kg. There is no friction. (4) 4.45 m/s2, 18 N )
C

8. For the system below, find

a. direction of motion (4.0 kg goes up, 10. kg slides down)
b. friction & direction (7.51 N up ramp)
c. acc'n (1.16m/s2)
d. cord tension (43.8 N)
