Question: Q 2 . Figure 2 shows 5 - k g block, B resting on 8 - k g block, A which is placed on a

Q2. Figure 2 shows 5-kg block, B resting on 8-kg block, A which is placed on a frictionless surface where the inclination angle, =20.
i) Sketch Free Body Diagrams of each block. Write dynamic equilibrium equations for each block at each direction. Find the accelerations aAG,aBG, and aBA by sketching the Kinetic Diagram. (Vector Mechanics Approach through Newton's 2nd Law)
ii) Find the velocities vAG,vBG, and vBA when block, B starts motion from rest (initial position, 1) and slides on the inclined surface of block, A by 2 meters (final position, 2).
iii) How many meters in how much time does block, A move with respect to the ground when block, B moves 2 meters on the inclined surface of A?
iv) Write the Work Equation for the system, WA2 and find the velocities vAVG and VBG by using Energy Approach when block, B starts motion from rest (initial position, 1) and slides on the inclined surface of block, A by 2 meters (final position, 2). Show that the velocities are consistent with the ones you have found in item ii).
v) Show that:
?rarr1W2system=-Delta U
1W2system=T2system-T1system
vi) Use the definition of Force; i.e., Fexternal *t=Lsytem to find the time interval when block, B starts motion from rest (initial position, 1) and slides on the inclined surface of block, A by 2 meters (final position, 2). Show that it is consistent with what you have found in item iii).
vii) Show that the equation,
Fexternalofblockofinterest*t=Lblockofinterest
can also be used for each block separately in order to find the unique interval of time when block, B starts motion from rest (initial position, 1) and slides on the inclined surface of block, A by 2 meters (final position, 2).
