    This document contains 3 problems from Problem Set 7 of the 8.01x Classical Mechanics course at MIT. The first problem involves an object sliding down an inclined plane and then along a rough surface. It asks for the work done by friction and gravity on the inclined plane and the kinetic energy and distance the object slides on the rough surface. The second problem involves two blocks colliding, sticking together, and then sliding on a rough surface and compressing a spring. It asks for the distance the spring is compressed. The third problem involves a mass attached to a string moving in circular motion on an inclined plane, and asks for the work done by friction and the tension in the string at the top of the circle.

    Problem Set 7
    1. Object Sliding Down an Inclined Plane
    An object of mass m = 4.0 kg, starting from rest, slides down an inclined plane of
    length l = 3.0 m. The plane is inclined by an angle of θ = 30◦ to the ground. The
    coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.2. At the bottom of the plane, the mass slides
    along a rough surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.3 until it comes to
    rest. The goal of this problem is to find out how far the object slides along the rough
    surface.

    (a) What is the work done by the friction force while the mass is sliding down the
    inclined plane? (Is it positive or negative?)
    (b) What is the work done by the gravitational force while the mass is sliding down
    the inclined plane? (Is it positive or negative?)
    (c) What is the kinetic energy of the mass when it just reaches the bottom of the
    inclined plane?
    (d) Symbolically, what is the work done by the friction force while the mass is sliding
    along the ground? Is this positive or negative? Express you answer in terms of
    some or all of the following: m, µk , g, and d where d is the distance it takes the
    object to stop measured from the bottom of the incline.
    (e) How far from the bottom of the inclined plane does the object slide along the
    rough surface?

    2. Collision and Sliding on a Rough Surface

    Block A of mass mA is moving horizontally with speed vA along a frictionless surface.


    It collides with block B of mass mB that is initially at rest. The two blocks stick
    together after the collision. At x = 0, block B enters a rough surface with a coefficient
    of kinetic friction that increases linearly with distance µk (x) = bx for 0 ≤ x ≤ d, where
    b is a positive constant.
    At x = d, block B collides with an unstretched spring with spring constant k on a
    frictionless surface. The downward gravitational acceleration has magnitude g. What
    is the distance the spring is compressed when the blocks first comes to rest? Express
    you answer in terms of some or all of the following: vA , b, d, g, k, mA and mB .

    3. Inclined plane A body of mass m is attached to one end of a string of length R.


    The other end of the string is fixed on an inclined plane making an angle φ with the
    horizontal as shown in the figure. The body has speed v0 at the bottom of the circle
    (point A). The body undergoes circular motion. There is a coefficient of sliding friction
    µ between the body and the plane. The downward acceleration of gravity is g. Express
    all answers in terms of m, φ, v0 , g, µ and R as needed.

    (a) How much work does the friction force do on the body as it moves from the
    bottom of the circle (point A) to the top of the circle (point B)?
    (b) What is the tension in the string when it reaches point B? Express your answer
    in terms of m, φ, v0 , g, µ and R as needed.
