Q. 64. The inclined plane of Fig. 1.11 forms an angle α = 30° with the horizontal. The mass ratio m2/m1 = η = 2/3. The coefficient of friction between the body m1 and the inclined plane is equal to k = 0.10. The masses of the pulley and the threads are negligible. Find the magnitude and the direction of acceleration of the body m2 when the formerly stationary system of masses starts moving.
Ans. From the conditions, obtained in the previous problem, first we will check whether the mass m2 goes up or down.
Here, m2/ m1 = η > sin α + k cos α , (substituting the values). H ence the mass m2 will come down with an acceleration (say w). From the free body diagram of previous problem,

and (2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get,
Substituting all the values,
As m2 moves down with acceleration of magnitude w = .05 g > 0, thus in vector form acceleration of m2:
Q. 65. A plank of mass m1 with a bar of mass m2 placed on it lies on a smooth horizontal plane. A horizontal force growing with time t as F = at (a is constant) is applied to the bar. Find how the accelerations of the plank w1 and of the bar w2 depend on t, if the coefficient of friction between the plank and the bar is equal to k. Draw the approximate plots of these dependences.
Ans. Let us write the Newton’s second law in projection form along positive x-axis for the plank and the bar
fr - m1 w1, fr = m2 w2 (1)
At the initial moment, fr represents the static friction, and as the force F grows so does the friction force fr, but up to it’s limiting value
Unless this value is reached, both bodies moves as a single body with equal acceleration. But as soon as the force fr reaches the limit, the bar starts sliding over the plank i.e.
Substituting here the values of w1 and w2 taken from Eq. (1) and taking into account that
corresponds to the moment
Hence,
If
On this basis w1 (r) and w2 (t), plots are as shown in the figure of answersheet.

Q. 74. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1.17 the mass of the rod M exceeds the mass m of the ball. The ball has an opening permitting it to slide along the thread with some friction. The mass of the pulley and the friction in its axle are negligible. At the initial moment the ball was located opposite the lower end of the rod. When set free, both bodies began moving with constant accelerations. Find the friction force between the ball and the thread if t seconds after the beginning of motion the ball got opposite the upper end of the rod. The rod length equals l.
Ans. As the thread is not tied with m, so if there were no friction between the thread and the ball m, the tension in the thread would be zero and as a result both bodies will have free fall motion. Obviously in the given problem it is the friction force exerted by the ball on the thread, which becomes the tension in the thread. From the condition or language of the problem wM > wm and as both are directed downward so , relative acceleration of M = wM > wm and is directed downward. Kinematical equation for the ball in the frame of rod in projection form along upward direction gives :
Newton’s second law in projection form along vertically down direction for both, rod and ball gives,
Multiplying Eq. (2) by m and Eq. (3) by M and then subtracting Eq. (3) from (2) and after using Eq. (1) we get
Q. 75. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1.18 the mass of ball 1 is η = 1.8 times as great as that of rod 2. The length of the latter is l = 100 cm. The masses of the pulleys and the threads, as well as the friction, are negligible. The ball is set on the same level as the lower end of the rod and then released. How soon will the ball be opposite the upper end of the rod?
Ans. Suppose, the ball goes up with accleration w1 and the rod comes down with the acceleration w2. As the length of the thread is constant,
2 = w2 (1)
From Newton's second law in projection form along vertically upward for the ball and vertically downward for the rod respectively gives,
(2)
and (3)
but T = 2T (because pulley is massless) (4)
From Eqs. (1), (2), (3) and (4)
From kinematical equation in projection form, we get
as, w1 and w2 are in the opposite direction.
Putting the values of w1 and w2, the sought time becomes
Q. 76. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1.19 the mass of body 1 is η = 4.0 times as great as that of body 1. The height h = 20 cm. The masses of the pulleys and the threads, as well as the friction, are negligible. At a certain moment body 2 is released and the arrangement set in motion. What is the maximum height that body 2 will go up to?
Ans. Using Newton's second law in projection form along x - axis for the body 1 and along negative x - axis for the body 2 respectively, we get
For the pulley lowering in downward direction from Newton's law along x axis,
As the length of the thread is constant so,
w2 = 2w1 (4)
The simultaneous solution of above equations yields,
(5)
Obviously during the time interval in which the body 1 comes to the horizontal floor covering the distance h, the body 2 moves upward the distance 2h. At the moment when the body 2 is at the height 2h from the floor its velocity is given by the expression :
After the body m1 touches the floor the thread becomes slack or the tension in the thread zero, thus as a result body 2 is only under gravity for it's subsequent motion.
Owing to the velocity v2 at that moment or at the height 2h from the floor, the body 2 further goes up under gravity by the distance,
Thus the sought maximum height attained by the body 2 :

Q. 78. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1.21 the masses of the wedge M and the body m are known. The appreciable friction exists only between the wedge and the body m, the friction coefficient being equal to k. The masses of the pulley and the thread are negligible. Find the acceleration of the body m relative to the horizontal surface on which the wedge slides.
Ans. Let us draw free body diagram of each body and fix the coordinate system, as shown in the figure. After analysing the motion of M and m on the basis of force diagrams, let us draw the kinematical diagram for accelerations (Fig.).
As the length of threads are constant so,
do not change their directions that why
so, from the triangle law of vector addition

The masses of the bodies are equal, and the coefficient of friction between the bar and the bodies is equal to k. The masses of the pulley and the threads are negligible, the friction in the pulley is absent.
Ans. Bodies 1 and 2 will remain at rest with repect to bar the sought minimum acceleration of the bar. Beyond these limits there will be a relative motion betw een b ar and the bodies.
the tendency o f body 1 in relation to the bar A is to move towards right and is in the opposite sense for

Ans. On the basis of the initial aigument of the solution of Q.79, the tendency of bar 2 with respect to 1 will be to move up along the plane.
Let us fix (x - y) coordinate system in the frame o f ground as shown in the figure.
From second law of motion in projection form along y and x axes :

Ans. To analyse the kinematic relations between the bodies, sketch the force diagram of each body as shown in the figure.
On the basis of force diagram, it is obvious that the wedge M will move towards right and the block will move down along the wedge. As the length of the thread is constant, the distance travelled by the block on the wedge must be equal to the distance travelled by the wedge on the flo&r. Hence do not change their directions and acceleration that’s why
(say) and accordingly the diagram of kinematical dependence is shown in figure.
