A block of mass M slides on a smooth incline. The compound pulley has moment of inertia . A brakeshoe can press against the pulley. The normal force on the brakeshoe is 2Mg and the coefficient of friction is . Initially the block is at rest and the pulley rotates on a frictionless pivot.

 

full compound pulley diagram with block M, complete 37 degree incline, brakeshoe and 2Mg force

Find the time taken by the block-pulley system to stop after the brakeshoe is applied.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Before braking, v=at=(2)(7)=14 m/s.

After braking, retardation is 7g/15=14/3 m/s² for g=10 m/s².

Stopping time=v/a=14/(14/3)=3 s.
