A 2.00Kg puck on a frictionless horizontal surface on the Earth is constrained to a circular orbit by a 4.00 meter long string attached to a vertical rod. Assume the string is attached to the rod by a ring that lets it revolve around the rod without friction. The string can withstand up to a 50.0N tension without breaking. Once the puck is released, it slides on a horizontal dirt surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.15. How far will it go to where it stops and how much time does it take to stop?

A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.
An 8.00 kg box sits on a ramp that is inclined at 33.0 above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface of the ramp is mk = 0.300. A constant horizontal force F = 26.0 N is applied to the box, and the box moves down the ramp. If the box is initially at rest, what is its speed 2.00 s after the force is applied?
A 0.5 kg object moves in a horizontal circular track with a radius of 2.5 m. An external force of 3.0 N, acting always tangent to the track, causes the object to speed up as it goes around. If it starts from rest, its speed at the end of one revolution is:
An amusement park ride called the Rotor debuted in 1955 in Germany. Passengers stand in the cylindrical drum of the Rotor as it rotates around its axis. Once the Rotor reaches its operating speed, the floor drops but the riders remain pinned against the wall of the cylinder. Suppose the cylinder makes 24.5 rev/min and has a radius of 3.70 m. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction ?sμs between the wall of the cylinder and the backs of the riders?
Two small cylindrical plastic containers with flat bottoms are placed on a turntable that has a smooth flat surface. Canister A is empty; canister B contains lead shot. Each canister is the same distance r from the center. The coefficient of static friction between the canisters and the turntable is ms. When the speed of the turntable is gradually increased,
On a planet where g = 10.0 m/s^2 and air resistance is negligible, a sled is at rest on a rough inclined hill rising at 30° as shown in the figure. The object is allowed to move and it stops on a rough horizontal surface, at a distance of 4.0 m from the bottom of the hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction on the hill is 0.40. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the horizontal surface and the sled?
Sally wants to hang up some decorations on the side of her house, so she props up a ladder of length L = 3m against a wall at an angle of θ = 50° with respect to the horizontal. The ground is somewhat icy, where the coefficient of static friction between the ground and the ladder’s feet is µ = 0.55; while the wall of her house can be considered frictionless. If Sally has a mass of 60kg and the ladder has a mass of 80kg, what is the max distance that she can climb up the length of the ladder without it slipping? You may assume the ground is perfectly flat, and the wall is perpendicular to the ground.
A plastic disc is flicked up a sloping board. It has an initial speed of 1.6 ms ¹, but gradually slows down. The board is inclined at 18° to the horizontal, and when the disc is flicked its centre is 0.3 m from the top of the board, as shown below.

The accompanying figure shows a frictionless channel in the shape of a segment of a circle with center at "O". The channel has been anchored to a frictionless horizontal table top. You are looking down at the table. Forces exerted by the air are negligible. A ball is shot at high speed into the channel at "p" and exits at "r." Consider the following distinct forces: A downward force of gravity. A force exerted by the channel pointing from q to O. A force in the direction of motion. A force pointing from O to q.
