  1. In figure below two blocks ( m = 1.0 kg and M = 10 kg) and a spring (k = 200 N/m) are arranged on horizontal, frictionless surface. The coefficient friction between the two blocks is 0.40. What amplitude of simple harmonic motion of the spring-blocks system puts the smaller block on the verge of slipping over the larger block?
  1. A wave on a string is described by € y ( x , t ) = ( 2.0 cm )sin[ ( 12.57 rad / m ) x − ( 638 rad / s ) t ] Where x is in m t is in s. The linear density of the string is 5.0 g/m. (a) What is the string tension? (b) What is the maximum displacement of a point on the string? (c) What is the maximum speed of a point on the string? (d) What is the wave speed? (e) What is the frequency, period, and wavelength of the wave?
  1. A sinusoidal wave travels along a stretched string. A particle on the string has a maximum velocity of 2.0 m/s and a maximum acceleration of 200 m/s^2. What are the frequency, period and amplitude of the wave?
