Discussion (See Fig. 3.)

The condition for the system to start moving is a > 0. Inserting a = 0 into (1) we
obtain the limit for angle α1:

tan α 1 = µ ⋅ = = 0.0667 , α 1 = 3.81° .

For the cylinder separately α 1 = 0 , and for the block separately α 1 = tan −1 µ = 11.31° .
If the cord is not stretched the bodies move separately. We obtain the limit by
inserting F = 0 into (3):

The condition for the cylinder to β r, a F, S (N)
slip is that the value of S (calculated from g α1 α2=α3 20
(2) taking the same coefficient of friction)
exceeds the value of µm1 g cos α . This gives
the same value for α3 as we had for α2. The S

Problem 2
There are 300 cm3 toluene of 0°C temperature in a glass and 110 cm3 toluene of
100°C temperature in another glass. (The sum of the volumes is 410 cm3.) Find the final
volume after the two liquids are mixed. The coefficient of volume expansion of toluene
β = 0.001(°C )−1 . Neglect the loss of heat.
