A box that has a mass of 80 kg slides down a ramp with a 30 degree angle. The free-body diagram shows the forces acting on the box. A block is shown on a 30-degree incline with a free body diagram drawn on the block with 2 force vectors. The first vector is pointing away from the surface of the incline and perpendicular to the surface,

Ignoring friction and air resistance, what is the acceleration of the box, to the nearest tenth?

The center of a long frictionless rod is pivoted at the origin, and the rod is forced to rotate in a vertical plane with constant angular velocity \omega. write down the lagrangian for a bead of mass m threaded on the rod, using r as your generalized coordinate, where r, \phi are the polar coordinates of the bead. (notice that \phi is not an independent variable since it is fixed by the rotation of the rod tobe \phi = \omega * t) solve lagrange's equation for r(t). what happens if the bead is initially at rest at the origin? if it is released from any point ro > 0, show that r(t) eventually grows exponentially. explain your results in terms of the centrifugal force m* \omega ^2 *r.
