The masses of blocks $A$ and $B$ are $m$ and $M$ respectively. Between $A$ and $B$,there is a constant frictional force $F$ and $B$ can slide on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ is set in motion with velocity $v_0$ while $B$ is at rest. What is the distance moved by $A$ relative to $B$ before they move with the same velocity?

  • A
    $\frac{mMv_0^2}{F(m-M)}$
  • B
    $\frac{mMv_0^2}{2F(m-M)}$
  • C
    $\frac{mMv_0^2}{F(m+M)}$
  • D
    $\frac{mMv_0^2}{2F(m+M)}$

$A$ system consists of three masses $m_1$,$m_2$,and $m_3$ connected by a string passing over a pulley $P$. The mass $m_1$ hangs freely,and $m_2$ and $m_3$ are on a rough horizontal table (the coefficient of friction $= \mu$). The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. Find the downward acceleration of mass $m_1$. (Assume $m_1 = m_2 = m_3 = m$)

In the arrangement shown in the figure,the masses of blocks $B$ and $A$ are $2m$ and $m$ respectively. The surface between $B$ and the floor is smooth. Block $B$ is connected to block $C$ by means of a string-pulley system. If the whole system is released,find the minimum value of the mass of block $C$ so that block $A$ remains stationary with respect to $B$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $\mu$.
