Two blocks of masses m and M are connected by a string and pass over a frictionless pulley. Mass m hangs vertically, and mass M

moves on an inclined plane that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. Draw a sketch, and if the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk,calculate the angle θ for which the blocks move with uniform velocity. Discuss the special case when m = M

Answer:

sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = \frac{m}{M}

sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = 1

Explanation:

Force of friction on M mass so that it will move down the inclined plane is given as

F_f = \mu Mgcos\theta

now if it is moving down the inclined plane at constant speed

so we will have

Mgsin\theta - T - \mu mgcos\theta = 0

on other side the mass "m" will go up at constant speed

so we have

T - mg = 0

so we have

Mgsin\theta = \mu Mgcos\theta + mg

so we have

sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = \frac{m}{M}

for special case when m = M

then we have

sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = 1

Describe one common critique or criticism of Utilitarianism. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this criticism?
lisabon 2012 [21]
The second most common criticism of utilitarianism is that it is impossible to apply - that happiness (etc) cannot be quantified or measured, that there is no way of calculating a trade-off between intensity and extent, or intensity and probability (etc), or comparing happiness to suffering.

A climber pulls herself 8 meters upwards with a force of 150 Newtons. If it takes her 16 seconds to cover the 8 meters, how much
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

 P = 75 W

Explanation:

given,

Distance, L = 8 m

Force,F = 150 N

Time, t = 16 s

Work by the climber

Work done = Force x displacement

W = F. L

W = 150 x 8

W = 1200 J

We know,

Power =\dfrac{Work\ done}{time}

P =\dfrac{1200}{16}

 P = 75 W

Hence, Power climber is using to climb is equal to 75 W.
