DETAILS OSCOLPHYS2016 4.7.WA.054. MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER A mover has to move a heavy sofa of mass 154 kg to the second floor of the house. He uses a rope to pull the sofa up a ramp from the first to the second floor. As he pulls the state makes sure that the rope is parallel to the surface of the ramp which is at 30.0° to the horizontal. If friction between the sofa and the ramp is negligible, and the sofa has an acceleration of 0.700 m/s², find the tension in the rope (in N). N Additional Materials Reading

WORK 1. The blocks A and B are connected by a cable that runs around two pulleys of negligible mass, as shown in the figure. The kinetic coefficient of friction between the inclined plane and block A is 0.4. If the initial velocity of A is 3m/s down the plane, determine the displacement AS, of block A (measured from its initial position) when the system comes to 8 m/s A 5 kg Hi = 0,4 rest. | 20° 3 kg
7. Conceptual question: A block is given an initial push and is sent up an incline plane as shown. You time the trip up to its maximum point up the plane, and again time the trip down the plane (on its way back). To your surprise, the time "down" is longer than the time "up". Explain: Note that the plane has friction. What would you expect if the plane was frictionless?
