A system comprised blocks, a light frictionless pulley, and connecting ropes is shown in the figure. The 9.0-kg block is on a perfectly smooth horizontal table.
 
  The surfaces of the 12-kg block are rough, with between the block and the table. If the 5.0-kg block accelerates downward when it is released, find its acceleration.
 
  A) 1.0 m/s2
  B) 1.2 m/s2
  C) 1.4 m/s2
  D) 1.6 m/s2
  E) 1.8 m/s2

Question 2

Block A of mass 5.0 kg and block X are attached to a rope which passes over a pulley, as shown in the figure. An 80-N force P is applied horizontally to block A, keeping it in contact with a rough vertical face.
 
  The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the wall and block A are s = 0.40 and k = 0.30. The pulley is light and frictionless. The mass of block X is adjusted until block A moves upward with an acceleration of 1.6 m/s2. What is the mass of block X?
 
  A) 9.9 kg
  B) 9.3 kg
  C) 8.7 kg
  D) 8.1 kg
  E) 7.5 kg

A cataract is a clouding of the eyes' natural lens. As we age, some clouding of the lens may occur. The first sign of a cataract is usually blurry vision. Although glasses and other visual aids may at first help a person with cataracts, surgery may become inevitable. Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision, and it is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
