In a pickup game of dorm shuffle-board, students crazed by the final exams use a broom to propel a calculus book along the dorm hallway. If the 3.5 kg book is pushed from rest through a distance of 1.20 m by the horizontal 25 N force from the broom and then has a speed of 1.75 m s-1, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and floor?

In the figure shown below, a 2.0 kg block is placed on the top of a 3.0 kg block, which lies on a frictionless surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two blocks is 0.30. They are connected via a pulley and a string. A hanging block of mass 10 kg is connected to the 3.0 kg block via another pulley and string. Both the strings have negligible mass and both pulleys are frictionless and have negligible mass. When the assembly is released, what are
(a) the acceleration magnitude of the blocks? (b) the tension in string 1? and (c) the tension in string 2? (Take g=10 m s-2)

2.5 kg block is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force F of magnitude  6.0 N and a vertical force P are applied to the block (given in the below figure). The coefficients of friction for the block and surface are μs=0.40 and μk=0.25, respectively. Determine the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block if the magnitude of P is (a) 8.0N, (b)10N,  and (c) 12 N.

The mysterious sliding stones. Along the remote Racetrack Playa in Death Valley, California, stones sometimes gouge out prominent trails in the desert floor, as if the stones had been migrating (given in the below figure). For years curiosity mounted about why the stones moved. One explanation was that the strong winds during occasional rainstorms would drag the rough stones over ground softened by rain. When the desert dried out, the trails behind the stones were hard-baked in place. According to the measurements, the ground is about 0.80. What horizontal force must act on a 20 kg stone (a typical mass) to maintain the stone's motion once a gust has started it moving?
