1. Consider the following system of blocks and ropes. All the ropes and pulleys are massless and frictionless, and the surfaces are frictionless. The ramp angle is B = 30°.
a. Suppose blocks 1 and 2 have mass mi = 2.0 kg and m2 = 1.0 kg, respectively. What must be the mass of block 3 to ensure that none of the blocks move?
b. Suppose block 3 has the mass you calculated in part a. Suddenly rope 2 breaks at time t = 0. How far across the plateau does block 2 slide between t = 0 and t = 1.0 s, assuming that it does not crash into the pulley during that time interval?
