The water-park ride consists of an 800-lb sled which slides
from rest down the incline and then into the pool. If the
frictional resistance on the incline is Fr = 30 lb, and in
the pool for a short distance Fr = 80 lb, determine how
fast the sled is traveling when s = 5 ft.

SOLUTION
Free-Body Diagram: The free-body diagram of blocks A and B are shown in Figs. b
and c, respectively. Here, aA and aB are assumed to be directed downwards so that
they are consistent with the positive sense of position coordinates sA and sB of
blocks A and B, Fig. a. Since the cable passes over the smooth pulleys, the tension in
the cable remains constant throughout.
