4.00-kg block and the plane is 0.25; that between the 8.00-kg
block and the plane is 0.35. (a) Calculate the acceleration of each
block. (b) Calculate the tension in the string. (c) What happens if the
positions of the blocks are reversed, so the 4.00-kg block is above
the 8.00-kg block?
5.99 ... Block A, with weight Figure P5.99
3w, slides down an inclined
plane S of slope angle 36.9 at a
constant speed while plank B,
with weight w, rests on top of
A. The plank is attached by a

cord to the wall (Fig. P5.99). (a)
Draw a diagram of all the forces
acting on block A. (b) If the
coefcient of kinetic friction is
the same between A and B and

between S and A, determine its
value.
5.100 .. Accelerometer. The system shown in Fig. P5.100 can
be used to measure the acceleration of the system. An observer riding on the platform measures the angle u that the thread supporting
the light ball makes with the vertical. There is no friction anywhere. (a) How is u related to the acceleration of the system? (b) If
m 1 = 250 kg and m 2 = 1250 kg, what is u? (c) If you can vary
m 1 and m 2, what is the largest angle u you could achieve? Explain
how you need to adjust m 1 and m 2 to do this.
