A 5.0-kg block and a 4.0-kg block are connected by a (16 kg rod, as shown in the gure. The links between the blocks and the rod are denoted by A and B. A vertical upward force of magnitude F of magnitude 150 N is applied to the upper block. What magnitude force does each of the links A and B exert? 18. Three blocks, light connecting ropes, and a light frictionless pulley comprise a system, as shown in the figure. An external force of magnitude P is applied downward on block A, causing block A to accelerate downward at a constant 2.5 m/s2. The tension in the rope connecting block B and block C is equal to 60 N. (a) What is the magnitude of the force P? (b) What is the mass of block C? a=2.5 m/s2 18 kg B A 12 kg 60 N C3 24. The gure shows a system consisting of three blocks, a light frictionless pulley, and light connecting ropes that act horizontally on the upper two blocks. The 9.0-kg block is on a perfectly smooth horizontal table, The surfaces of the 12-kg block are rough, with uk = 0.30 between the 12-kg and 9.0-kg blocks The mass M of the hanging block is set so that it descends at a constant velocity of 3.25 m/s. (a) What is the mass M of the hanging block? (b) The mass M is now changed to 50 kg, causing it to accelerate downward after it is released, What isthe acceleration of the hanging mass? 25. As shown in the figure, block B on a horizontal tabletop is attached by very light horizontal strings to two hanging blocks, A and C. The pulleys are ideal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between block B and the tabletop is 0.100. The masses of the three blocks are mA = 12.0 kg, m = 7.00 kg, and mc = 10.0 kg. Find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of block B after the system is gently released and has begun to move. B A C
