Question 1. If the hoop has a weight mg and radius R and is thrown one a rough surface with a
velocity vG parallel to the surface and backspin . If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the
table and the ring is , determine the distance the ring travels forward before backspinning stops.

Question 2. The 10-kg uniform disk of radius 0.50 m and the 4-kg block are released from rest.
Neglecting the masses and the moments of inertia of the pulleys and knowing the coefficient of
static and kinetic friction between the disk and the horizontal surface is 0.30 and 0.20, respectively
determine
a) The acceleration of block B,
b) The velocity of the centre of the disk after B has fallen 0.20 m.

0.50m

Question 3. A uniform ladder having a mass of 14-kg and length 3 m is released from rest when it
is in the vertical position. If it is allowed to fall freely, determine the angle at which the bottom
end A starts to lift of the ground. For calculation, assumed the ladder is a slender rod and neglect
friction at A.
