Two blocks are attached by a light string with one resting on a rough table and the other hanging over the edge via a frictionless pulley. If the blocks are initially at rest, the tension force is equal to the hanging weight. As the weight of the hanging block is increased, eventually the blocks will move. At that point is the tension in the string more, the same or less than the weight of the hanging block and why? If the hanging weight were continuously increased, would the tension force change gradually or abruptly when the blocks move and why?

Solid uniform spherical boulder rolls down the hill : A solid uniform spherical boulder rolls down the hill as shown in the figure(Figure 1) , starting from rest when it is H = 43.0{\rm m} above the bottom. The upper half of the hill is free of ice, so the boulder rolls without slipping. But the lower h..

Two blocks are connected by a light cord : Two blocks are connected by a light cord. One block, of mass 4kg, sits on a horizontal table with static and kinetic coefficients of friction of 0.6 and 0.4, respectively, whereas the other block, of 2 kg mass, hangs over a frictionless light pull..
