Two particles, A and B, are attached to the ends of a light inextensible string, which passes over a smooth pulley. Particle A has mass 8 kg and B has mass 5 kg. Both particles are held 1.2 m above the ground. The system is released from rest and the particles move vertically.

When particle A hits the ground, it does not bounce. Find the maximum height reached by particle B.

A particle, P, moves on a straight track. It has displacement s m from a point, O, at time t s, given by s=0.12t+10-0.01t3 for t>0. Particle Q moves on a track parallel to particle P. The acceleration, a m s-2, of Q is given by a=0.4-0.06t. Both particles come to rest alongside each other. Find the displacement of Q from O after 10 s.

Two particles of masses 5 kg and 10 kg are connected by a light inextensible string that passes over a fixed smooth pulley. The 5 kg particle is on a rough fixed slope which is at an angle of α to the horizontal, where tanα=34. The 10 kg particle hangs below the pulley (see diagram). The coefficient of friction between the slope and the 5 kg particle is 12. The particles are released from rest. Find the acceleration of the particles and the tension in the string.

A particle of mass 0.1 kg is released from rest on a rough plane inclined at 20° to the horizontal. It is given that, 5 seconds after release, the particle has a speed of 2 m s-1.

Find the acceleration of the particle and hence show that the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the particle is 0.302 N, correct to 3 significant figures.
