TopicMotion on a slope
TypeVehicle on slope with resistance
DifficultyStandard +0.3 This is a standard M1 mechanics problem involving forces on a slope with friction. Part (i) requires resolving forces and applying F=ma with given acceleration. Part (ii) involves kinematics after the cable breaks, with the deceleration value essentially given to verify. The multi-step nature and combination of dynamics/kinematics makes it slightly above average, but all techniques are routine for M1 students.

A winch drags a $\log$ of mass 600 kg up a slope inclined at $10 ^ { \circ }$ to the horizontal by means of an inextensible cable of negligible mass parallel to the slope (see diagram). The coefficient of friction between the $\log$ and the slope is 0.15 , and the $\log$ is initially at rest at the foot of the slope. The acceleration of the $\log$ is $0.11 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }$.
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*)]
\item Calculate the tension in the cable.

The cable suddenly breaks after dragging the log a distance of 10 m .
\item (a) Show that the deceleration of the log while continuing to move up the slope is $3.15 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }$, correct to 3 significant figures.\\
(b) Calculate the time taken, after the cable breaks, for the log to return to its original position at the foot of the slope.
