Question: 6 . A solid uniform disk ( mass mdisk = 0 . 7 5 0 kg , radius R = 1 2 . 0 cm

6. A solid uniform disk (mass mdisk =0.750 kg, radius R =12.0 cm) and a block (mass mblock =
0.750 kg) are released at the same time at the top of the ramp (h =0.500 m). The coefficient
of friction is the same for both ( =0.25). The angle is 30 and d=1 m.
Hint: is this friction static or kinetic?
a) Calculate the speed of each object at the bottom of the ramp.
b) Which object gets to the bottom first?
c) If the block was sliding without friction, how would your answer to (b) change?
Explain, without doing any calculations.
