Figure shows the cross section of a road cut into the side of a mountain. The solid line AA' represents a weak bedding plane along which sliding is possible. The block B directly above the highway is separated from uphill rock by a large crack (called a joint), so that only the force of friction be- tween the block and the likely surface of failure prevent sliding. The mass of the block is 1.8 X 10⁷ kg, the dip angle of the failure plane is 24° , and the coefficient of static friction between block and plane is 0.63. (a) Show that the block will not slide, (b) Water seeps into the joint, exerting a hydrostatic force F parallel to the incline on the block. What minimum value of F will trigger a slide?

Round off to two significant figures
F = 3.0 x 10⁷ N
Therefore, the minimum value of that will trigger the slide is 3.0 x 10⁷ N .

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.

An object of mass m = 0.25 kg oscillates in a fluid at the end of a vertical spring of spring
constant kH = 85 N/m, see Fig.1. The effect of the fluid resistance is governed by the
damping constant b = 0.07kg/s.
(i) Find the period of the damped oscillation.
(ii) By what percentage does the amplitude of the oscillation decrease in each cycle?
