Problem 1:






























The rectangle shown in the figure has sides parallel to
x and y axes. The position vectors of two corners are
A = 10.0 m at 50.0

and B =

12.0 m at 30.0

. Find the
lengths of sides a and b. (6 points)

Problem 2:






























A bag of cement weighting 325 N hangs in equlibrium from
three wires as shown in the figure. Two of the wires makes
angles
1
= 60.0

and
2
= 40.0

with the horizontal.

Assuming the system is in equlibrium, find the tensions T

Problem 3:





























A block of mass m=2.50 kg having an initial speed of 5 m/s
is pushed a distance x=2.20 m along a frictionless,
horizontal table by a constant applied force of magnitude
F=16.0 N directed at an angle =25.0

as shown in the
figure: Detrmine
(a) the net work done on the block by the force acting on it,
(b) the final speed of the block. (3+3 = 6 points)

Problem 4:

A block of mass m = 5 kg is released from point A and slides on the frictionless track shown in the
figure. Determine (a) the block speed at points B, and C and (b) the work done by the gravitational
force on the block as it moves from point A to point C. (6 points)
