Physics 211 Exam-3
NAME: _____________________________________ Write down your name also on the back of your exam.
SIGNATURE and ID: ___________________________ Return this hard copy exam together with your other answer sheets. Write down your name on the back of the package of sheets you turn in.
Show all your procedures when giving the answers to the questions
1. (33 points) In the figure below, block-2 of mass M= 1 Kg is at rest on a frictionless surface
and touching the end of an un-stretched spring whose spring constant is 200 N/m. The
other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. Block-1 of mass 2 Kg, travelling at speed v1 = 4 m/s,
collides with block-2 and the two blocks stick together. When the blocks momentarily stop,
by what distance is the spring compressed?
2. A 1 m long rod of mass m = 0.2 Kg is hinged at one end and connected to a wall. It is held
out horizontally , then released. With respect to the reference XY, whose origin is at the hinge (as shown in the figure), calculate:
(22 points) The speed of the tip of the rod at the moment it hits the wall?
(11 points) The kinetic energy of the rod at the moment it hits the wall?

3B (17 points) Find the coordinates of the "Center of Mass" of the homogeneous thin plate
shown in the figure. Show all your calculations and the result.
Optional (10 points, extra credit) A dictionary of mass M= 5 Kg is pushed against a vertical wall with a horizontal force of
magnitude F= 200 N, so that it does not slip down the wall, as shown in the figure. The
coefficient of static friction for the dictionary in contact with the wall is s = 0.3.
1A (2.5 points) Draw the free body diagram for the dictionary.
1B (2.5 points) Determine the magnitude of the normal force acting on the dictionary.
1C (2.5 points) Find the magnitude of the static friction force acting on the dictionary.
1D (2.5 points) If the magnitude of the force F decreases until the book is ready to slip, what is the magnitude of F when slipping is imminent?
