Two blocks are connected by a string, as shown in the below figure. The smooth inclined surface makes an angle of 42° with the horizontal, and the block on the incline has a mass of 6.7 kg. Find the mass of the hanging block that will cause the system to be in equilibrium. (The pulley is assumed to be ideal.) 42° 6.7 kg m A 0.14-kg pinecone falls 16 m to the ground, where it lands with a speed of 13 m/s. (a) With what speed would the pinecone have landed if there had been no air resistance? (b) Did air resistance do positive work, negative work, or zero work on the pinecone? Explain.
