Fill in the top of each sheet.
The exam is closed book and closed notes.
In Part I, there are 10 multiple choice Questions.
The answers for the multiple choice Questions are to be placed on the SCANTRON form.
Use a Number 2 pencil to fill in answers on the SCANTRON form
Make sure you give only one (1) answer to each question.
For Problems II and III show ALL your work. We want to give you partial credit, but this
can be done only if your work is shown.
IF YOUR STRAIGHT LINES ARE DRAWN FREEHAND, YOU WILL GET ZERO CREDIT!!!
Here are some useful equations:
S F = ma
w = mg g = 9.8 m/s2 You can take g = 10 m/s2
v = v0 + at x - x0 = v0 t + ½ at2
2a(x - x0 ) = v2 - v02 x - x0 = ½ (v + v0)t
Fk = m k N Fsmax = m s N
ar = v2/r ar = r(2p /T)2 ar = r(2p f)2
x = xo+vocosq ot vx = vocosq o
y =yo+ vosinq ot - ½ gt2 vy = vosinq
o - gt
Note: xo = 0 and yo = 0 if you choose origin of the coordinate system at the starting point.

2. The system shown remains at rest. The force of friction on
the inclined block is
3. A 0.3-kg ball is held at an angle Q
from the vertical by a horizontal force F = 4 N as shown. The tension
in the string supporting the weight is
A) the same B) greater
C) less D) less for
some angles of the incline and greater for others
E) less or greater, depending on the magnitude of the applied
force F.
The following three problems refer to the figure shown. The ball moves
with negligible friction clockwise around the loop-the-loop, and leaves
its track in region III.
5. At point I, the relationship between the normal force N and
weight W is
A) N = W B) N < W C) N > W D) can’t determine E) none of the above
6. At point II, the relationship between the normal force N and weight W is
A) N = W B) N < W C) N > W D) can’t determine E) none of the above
7. At point III, the direction of the acceleration is best described by
A) B) C) D) E)
8. A box rests on a rough board 10 meters long. When one end of the board is slowly raised to a height of 6 meters above the other end, the box just begins to slide. The coefficient of static friction is
A) 0.1 B) 0.25
C) 0.4 D) 0.6
E) 0.75
9. The iron ball shown is being swung in a vertical circle at the end
of a 2-m string. How slowly can the ball go through its top position without
having the string go slack?
A) 4.5 m/s
B) 6.0 m/s
C) 9.0 m/s
D) 10 m/s
E) 12 m/s
10. A 0.2 kg stone is attached to a string and swung in a circle of
radius 0.6 m on a horizontal and frictionless surface. If the stone makes
150 revolutions per minute, the tension on the string is:
II.
Rope A, 1 m long, is attached to the horizontal cross arm at point a,
and rope B, 2 m long, is attached to the vertical shaft at point b. A 5-kg
ball is attached to the other ends of the ropes. The vertical shaft rotates
uniformly, making 5 revolutions in 10 seconds, and the ropes and ball assume
the configuration shown in the figure.
a) Draw a free-body diagram of the 5-kg body in the indicated space.
b) Find the tension in rope A.
