4/13 A department-store escalator makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal and takes 40 seconds to transport a person from the first to the second floor with a vertical rise of 20 ft. At a certain instant, there are 10 people on the escalator averaging 150 lb per person and standing at rest relative to the moving steps. Additionally, three boys averaging 120 lb each are running down the escalator at a speed of 2 ft/sec relative to the moving steps. Calculate the power output P of the driving motor to maintain the constant speed of the escalator. The no-load power without passengers is 2.2 hp to overcome friction in the mechanism. Answer P= 3.24 hp

1. Two masses are connected by a cord and accelerates to the left. M1 has a mass of 20 kg and rests on an incline plane at 37 degrees with respect to the horizontal while m2 has a mass of 10 kg and is hanging above the floor. Find the magnitude of the acceleration and the tension in the cord assuming that there is no friction between the block and the inclined plane. 2. In the previous problem, suppose that the 10 kg block, instead of hanging, lies on a horizontal, frictionless surface to the right of the pulley and the 10 kg mass is horizontal. Calculate the following:a. The acceleration of the blocks.b. The tension in the cable.

The double pulley shown in the figure is formed by two wheels that are coupled to each other. The complete pulley (formed by the two wheels) has a mass of 15 kg and a turning radius of 110mm. Block A has a mass of 40 kg. If a force of 2 kN is applied to the tied rope of the inner pulley wheel, determine the speed of block A after 3 seconds. At the beginning, the whole system was at rest. Disregard the mass of the string and consider that the moment of inertia (kg.m²) of the complete pulley is given by IP = mko²where m is the mass of the pulley and Ko is the radiusspinning
