Body U with mass 5m is stacked on the top body W withmass m, and released. The bodies are in contact along thefrictionless interface at 45 to the vertical. The body U isin contact with the frictionless vertical wall. Body W lieson the floor with coefficient of friction u. Relevantdimensions are shown in the figure. Express the results interms of given quantities: m, g, h and u.
1) Let u = 1/5. After separation from W, U continues to fall. Find velocity v1of U when it impacts the ground.
2) Let u = 1/5. After separation from U, W keeps sliding. How far will it get?Specifically, what is the final distance between the point D of W and the vertical wall?
