Two masses, \( m_y = 32 \) \( \text{kg} \) and \( m_z = 38 \) \( \text{kg} \), are connected by a rope that hangs over a pulley. The pulley is a uniform cylinder of radius \( R = 0.311 \) \( \text{m} \) and mass \( 3.1 \) \( \text{kg} \). Initially, \( m_y \) is on the ground and \( m_z \) rests \( 2.5 \) \( \text{m} \) above the ground.

A \(20 \, \text{g}\) piece of clay moving at a speed of \(50 \, \text{m/s}\) strikes a \(500 \, \text{g}\) pendulum bob at rest. The length of a string is \(0.8 \, \text{m}\). After the collision, the clay-bob system starts to oscillate as a simple pendulum.

A block hangs from the ceiling by a massless rope. A \( 3.0 \, \text{kg} \) block is attached to the first block and hangs below it on another piece of massless rope. The tension in the top rope is \( 63.0 \, \text{N} \).

A baseball is seen to pass upward by a window with a vertical speed of \( 14 \) \( \text{m/s} \). If the ball was thrown by a person \( 18 \) \( \text{m} \) below on the street, determine the following.

In the laboratory, you are given a cylindrical beaker containing a fluid and you are asked to determine the density \( \rho \) of the fluid. You are to use a spring of negligible mass and unknown spring constant \( k \) that is attached to a vertical stand.

A horizontal force of \(110 \, \text{N}\) is applied to a \(12 \, \text{kg}\) object, moving it \(6 \, \text{m}\) on a horizontal surface where the kinetic friction coefficient is \(\mu_k = 0.25\). The object then slides up a \(17^\circ\) inclined plane. Assuming the \(110 \, \text{N}\) force is no longer acting on the incline, and the coefficient of kinetic friction there is \(\mu_k = 0.45\), calculate the distance the object will slide on the incline.
