9 Figure 5-26 shows a train of four blocks being pulled across a frictionless floor by
force F: What total mass is accelerated to the right by (a) force F (b) cord 3, and (c)
cord 1?

•17 In Fig. 5-36,let the mass of the block be 8.5 kg and the angle be 30°. Find (a)
the tension in the cord and (b) the normal force acting on the block. (c) If the cord is
cut, find the magnitude of the re- sulting acceleration of the block.

•13 Figure 5-33 shows an arrangement in which four disks are suspended by cords.
The longer, top cord loops over a frictionless pulley and pulls with a force of
magnitude 98 N on the wall to which it is attached. The tensions in the three shorter
e

cords are T1 = 58.8 N, T2 = 49.0 N, and T3 = 9.8 N. What are the masses of (a) disk
A, (b) disk B, (c) disk C, and (d) disk D?

••57 A block of mass m1 = 3.70 kg on a frictionless plane inclined at angle = 30.0° is


connected by a cord over a massless, frictionless pulley to a second block of mass
m2 = 2.30 kg (Fig. 5-52). What are (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of each
block, (b) the direction of the acceleration of the hanging block, and (c) the tension in
the cord?

.
•••64 Figure 5-56 shows a box of mass m2 = 1.0 kg on a frictionless plane inclined at
angle u = 30°. It is connected by a cord of negligible mass to a box of mass m1 = 3.0
kg on a horizontal frictionless surface. The pulley is frictionless and massless. (a) If
the magnitude of horizontal force F is 2.3 N, what is the tension in the connecting
cord? (b) What is the largest value the magnitude of F may have without the cord
becoming slack?

73 In Fig. 5-61, a tin of antioxidants (m1 = 1.0 kg) on a frictionless inclined surface is
connected to a tin of corned beef (m2 = 2.0 kg). The pulley is massless and
frictionless. An upward force of magnitude F = 6.0 N acts on the corned beef tin,
which has a down- ward acceleration of 5.5 m/s2. What are (a) the tension in the
connecting cord and (b) angle b?
93 Figure 5-66a shows a mobile hanging from a ceiling; it consists of two metal
pieces (m1 = 3.5 kg and m2 = 4.5 kg) that are strung together by cords of negligible
mass. What is the tension in (a) the bottom cord and (b) the top cord? Figure 5-66b
shows a mobile consisting of three metal pieces. Two of the masses are m3 = 4.8 kg
and m5 = 5.5 kg. The tension in the top cord is 199 N. What is the tension in (c) the
lowest cord and (d) the middle cord?
