Work and Energy - Particle Dynamics Question 3 [20 marks] The block of mass m = 20 kg is connected via a pulley at D to the winch at E by an inextensible cord. The winch is able to exert a constant force P = 130 N on the cord. The friction between the block and the horizontal bar on which the block slides is negligible. Letting h = 0.8 m, if the block starts from rest in the position shown in Figure 3, determine the speed of the block when it has moved the distance d = 1.15 m and is directly under the pulley. 20 Figure 3: Winch and block system geometry
