The two masses, m1 = 2.50 kg and m2 = 3.10 kg shown in the figure below, are each initially h1 = 1.76 m above the ground, and the massless, frictionless pulley is fixed h2 = 4.68 m above the ground.
What maximum height does the lighter object reach after the system is released? The pulley is not moving.

A block of mass 2.1 kg is placed on a frictionless inclined ramp of mass 15.6 kg, with the angle = 19.0 degrees. Calculate the size of the net horizontal force F that must be applied to the ramp to prevent the block from accelerating with respect to the ramp.

A frictionless track is to be built as shown, with L=5.50 m and H=2.50 m. In order to get a block to slide from the top to the end of the track in the minimum time, how long should the distance D be? Assume that the speed of the block on the horizontal surface is the same as at the bottom of the ramp.
