(b) The block m1 moves in x-direction:
m1 a = F cos T N ,
N = m1 g F sin
The block m2 moves in y-direction:
m 2 a = T m2 g
Put in the values of m1 , m2 , F , and , we obtain

Problem 1: Kinematics (15 pts)
A particle moves along a straight line x. At time t = 0, its position is at x = 0. The velocity,
V , of the object changes as a function of time, t, as shown in the gure. V is in m/s, x is in
meter, and t is in seconds.
