Abullet of inertia m traveling at speed v is fired into a wooden block that has inertia 4m and rests on a level surface. the bullet passes through the block and emerges with speed v/3, taking a negligible amount of the wood with it. the block moves to the right but comes to rest after traveling a distance d.

what is the magnitude of the frictional force between the block and the surface while the block is moving?

what is the ratio of the energy dissipated as the bullet passes through the block to the energy dissipated by friction between the surface and the bottom face of the block?

i solved the first one and got (4mv^2)/(9d) but it said "your answer either contains an incorrect numerical multiplier or is missing one" so i'm not really sure what i did wrong.

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.
