A180 lb crate is on the ground, and a strong rope is attached. you need to move it across the basement floor, which has a coefficient of friction of 0.7 against the wood of the crate. to avoid actually working you call your friend to complain that you have to push it so hard. your friend says you should pull it with the rope (your height will cause it to have a 60° angle to horizontal), since it will lower the weight and therefore the friction force. you counter (still avoiding work) that you will also have less force on the crate so it cancels out. what is the right answer? is it better to pull with the rope or push? why?

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.

Amichelson interferometer operating at a 600 nm wavelength has a 3.02-cm-long glass cell in one arm. to begin, the air is pumped out of the cell and mirror m2 is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. then a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. the index of refraction of air at 1.00 atm pressure is 1.00028.how many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?
