    1. The document discusses applications of Newton's laws of motion to solve mechanics problems involving tensions in strings and forces between objects. Several example problems are presented involving blocks attached to strings or resting on wedges, and questions about tensions, angles, and accelerations are posed. The solutions apply Newton's second law to relate forces, masses and accelerations.

    APPLICATIONS OF NEWTONS LAW

    1. In Figure (a), a 0.5-kg block is suspended from a 1 .25-m-Iong


    string. The ends of the string are attached to the ceiling at
    points separated by 1 m. (a) What angle does the string make
    with the ceiling? (b) What is the tension in the string? (e) The
    0.5-kg block is removed and two 0.250-kg blocks are attached
    to the string such that the lengths of the three string segments
    are equal (Figure b). What is the tension in each segment of
    the string?
    5. The following Figure shows a 20-kg block sliding on a 10-kg
    block. All surfaces are frictionless, Find the acceleration of
    each block and the tension in the string that connects the
    blocks. Rta= a10= 20 m/s2, a20= -20 m/s2, T= 44.8 N

    2. A traffic light is supported by two wires as in Figure 2. Is the


    tension in the wire that is more nearly vertical greater than or
    less than the tension in the other wire?

    3. For the systems in equilibrium in Figures a, b, and c, find the


    unknown tensions and masses.

    4. A 2-kg block rests on a frictionless wedge that has an


    inclination of 60 and an acceleration a to the right such that
    the mass remains stationary relative to the wedge (see Figure).
    (a) Find a. (b) What would happen if the wedge were given a
    greater acceleration? Rta: a= 17 m/s2
