Problem 4.116
The crates
A
and
B
of mass
mAD50 kg
and
mBD75 kg
, respec-
tively, are connected by a pulley system. The system is released from
rest on the inclined surfaces for which
✓D30ı
. Friction between
A
and the inclined surface on which it slides is insufficient to prevent
slipping, and friction between
B
and the incline on which it slides
is negligible. The cables in the pulley system are inextensible, and
the coefficient of kinetic friction between crate
A
and the horizontal
surface is k.
Letting
kD0:25
, determine the speed of
A
after
B
slides
5
m
down the incline.
