academic integrity.You are reminded that you may be charged with an academic
offence for possessing any unauthorized aids during the writing of an exam, including
but not limited to any electronic devices with storage, suchcell phones, pagers,
personal digital assistants (PDAs), iPods, and MP3 players. Unauthorized
calculators and notes are also not permitted. Do not have any these items in your
possession in the area of your desk. Please tum the electronics off and put al/
unauthorized aids with your belongings at the front of the room before the
examination begins. Iany of these items are kept with you during the writing of your
exam, you may be charged with an academic offence. A typical penalty may cause
you to fail the course.
Please note, you CANNOT petition to re-write an examination once the exam has
begun.
Notes to students
o The exam consists of twenty (20) equally-valued multiple-choice problems.
o The total number of pages is 21, including the front page.
o Total mark equals 100.
o The formula sheet will be handed out separately and must be handed in with the question
sheets at the end of the exam.
o Choose only one answer in each problem.
o Please fill in the scantron sheet very carefully including your name and ID number.
The scantron sheet will be the only paper that will be marked. Your answers on the
problem book will not be marked. You can use the available extra blank space in this
book as a draft.
o You are not allowed to bring your own prepared sheet of formulas or any other source of
information. You'll be provided with all the constants and formulas that you may need in
this exam.

[5] (1) A 225-kg crate rests on a sUlface that is inclined above the horizontal at an angle p
of {} = 20.0°. A horizontal force P (magnitude = 535 N and parallel to the ground, not 4--",
the incline) is required to start the crate moving down the incline . What is the

[5] (3) A 30.0-kg block is resting on a flat horizontal table.
On top of this block is resting a 15.0-kg block, to which a
horizontal spring is attached, as the drawing illustrates. The
spring constant of the spring is 325 N/m. The coefficient of
kinetic fiction between the lower block and the table is
0.600, and the coefficient of static !iction between the two
blocks is 0.900. A horizontal force is applied to the lower
block as shown. TIlls force is increasing in such a way as to 30.0 kg F
keep the blocks moving at a constant speed. At the point
where the upper block begins to slip on the lower block,
determine (i) the amount by which the spring is compressed
and (ii) the magnitude of the forcF.

the total mass of a chair and its occupant is 90.0 kg. Determine the tension in the
cable attached to the chair when its velocity is 38.0 m/s. [Hint: You may need to

[5](9) A 10 gram bullet is fired horizontally into a 2.50-kg wooden block attached to one end of a massless,
horizontal spring (k= 845 N/m). The other end of the spring is fixed in place, and the spring is unstrained
initially. The block rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The bullet strikes the block perpendicularly and
quickly comes to a halt within it. As a result of this completely inelastic collision, the spring is compressed along
its axis and causes the blocklbullet to oscillate with amplitude of 0.200 illWhat is the speed of the bullet v?
