The Laws of Motion

1) The displacement of a 2 kg particle is given by x = At 3/2 . In here, A is 6.0 m/s3/2 . Find
the net force acting on the particle. (Note that the force is time dependent).
2) A particle of mass 2 kg is moving under the action of

two forces F1 and F2 as shown in the Figure. The force
F1 has magnitude 5 N and the force F2 has magnitude
4 N. At t=0, the particle is at point 0 and its initial
velocity is given by
a) Particle’s acceleration and its position after 2
seconds in terms of unit vectors.
b) Calculate the angle between the particle’s
position vector and velocity after 2 seconds.
3) Three blocks are in contact with each
other on a frictionless, horizontal
surface, as in Figure. A horizontal
force F is applied to m1. Take m1 =
2.00 kg, m2 = 3.00 kg, m3 = 4.00 kg,
and F = 18.0 N. Draw a separate free-
body diagram for each block and find
(a) the acceleration of the blocks, (b) the resultant force on each block, and (c) the
magnitudes of the contact forces between the blocks.
4) The assembly in the Right Figure is used to calculate

the acceleration of a given system. An observer on the
platform can calculate the acceleration of the system
by measuring the the angle (θ) of the ball. In here, m1
= 250 kg and m2 = 1250 kg. Calculate;
a) The acceleration of the system,
b) Derive an equation between the θ and the
acceleration of the system and find θ.
(Suppose that there is no friction between the
platform and the table). (g=9.8 m/s2)
5) A, B and C are connected by massless strings that
passes over frictionless pulleys. The weights of A
and B are given as 25 N. The coefficients of kinetic
friction between the block A and the ground, and
the Block B and incline is 0.35. When the system is
released, block C moves downward with a
constant speed.
a) Draw free-body diagrams of objects and find the
tension in the string between the Block A and B.
b) Find the weight of Block C.
c) If we cut the string between blocks A and B, What will be the acceleration of Block C?
(g=9.8 m/s2).
6) In the Figure, The coefficient of kinetic friction between the M1 and M2 and the rough
table is 0.5. (Ignore the masses of the pulleys and the friction on the strings). Find;
a) The tension in the strings,
b) The acceleration of each mass. (m1 = 2 kg, m2 = 8 kg, m3 = 4 kg, g=10 m/s2).
7) In the Figure, the coefficient of kinetic friction
between M2 and the table is 0.2. When the system
is released, in order to avoid the slipping of M3 over
M2, what should be the magnitude of the static
friction between the M3 and M2?
8) In Figure, the coefficient of kinetic friction
between M1 and M2 and also between M2
and table is 0.2. M1 is pulled with a 10 N
force as shown in Figure:
a) Find the acceleration of the system
and
b) The tension in the string.
(m1 = 1 kg, m2 = 2 kg, g=10 m/s2).
Circular Motion and Other
Applications of Newton’s Laws
1) A puck of mass mA = 35 g slides in a circle of

radius r = 0.4 m on a frictionless table while
attached to a hanging mass mB = 25 g by means
of a cord that extends through a hole in the
table.
a) What speed keeps the mass B at rest?
b) For the situation in part a), Calculate the
acceleration of A and write the acceleration
in polar coordinates.
2) A small coin is placed on a turntable making 3 revolutions in 3.14 s.
(a) What are the speed and acceleration of the coin when it rides without slipping at 5.0 cm
from the center of the turntable? (b) What is the magnitude and direction of the friction
force if the mass of the coin is 2.0 g? (c) What is the coefficient of static friction if the coin is
observed to slide off when it is more than 10 cm from the center of the turntable?
3) A student of mass 68 kg rides a steadily rotating Ferris wheel (the student sits upright).
At the highest point, the magnitude of the normal force on the student from the seat is
556 N.
a) What is the magnitude of the normal force on the student at the lowest point?
b) If the wheel’s speed is doubled, what is the magnitude FN at the highest point?
4) In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 5.0 m diameter
hollow steel cylinder with their backs against the wall. The cylinder begins to rotate
about a vertical axis and reaches 0.60 rev/sec constant speed. Then the floor on which
the passengers are standing suddenly drops away! If all goes well, the passengers will
“stick” to the wall and not slide.
a) Draw the free body diagram for the person inside the cylinder after the floor drops
away and,
b) Find the minumum static coefficient of friction in order to keep the person inside the
cylinder.
5) In Figure, a 4.0 kg ball is connected by means of two massless
strings, each of length L 1.25 m, to a vertical, rotating rod. The
strings are tied to the rod with separation d = 2.0 m and are
taut. The tension in the upper string is 80 N.What are the
(a) tension in the lower string and ,
(b) How many revolution per minute does it make?
