An object of mass m = 2.0 kg is released from rest at the top of a frictionless incline of height 3 m
and length 5 m. Taking g = 10 m/s 2, use energy considerations to find the velocity of the object at
the bottom of the incline.
Repeat the above when µk between the object and the plane is 1/4.

In Fig. 5 below, the first block has a mass m 1 = 2.0 kg and the second block has m2 = 4.0 kg. The
pulley and string are massless. There is no friction in the pulley, but the coefficient of kinetic
friction between the first block and the incline is µ k = 0.55. The blocks are released from rest. Use
energy considerations to find the speed of the two blocks when the second block has moved down
2.5 m. Take g = 10 m/s2.
