A block of mass m is released from rest at a height 3R above the ground and slides
down a frictionless vertical track. When it reaches a height R above the ground it enters a
semi-circular frictionless track of radius R. At the bottom of the semi-circular track it enters
a horizontal track starting at x = 0.
Along the horizontal track, the coefficient of kinetic friction is a constant μ (independent
of x). The block slides and comes to rest at x = d. The magnitude of the gravitational
acceleration is g.
(a) What is the normal force of the semi-circular track on the block when the block makes
an angle 0 as shown in the figure? Express your answer in terms of m, R, 0, and g.
(b) Calculate the distance d that the block slides along the horizontal track before coming
to rest. Express your answer in terms of m, R‚μ‚ and g.
