The figure shows Atwood's machine, in which two containers are connected by a cord (of negligible mass) passing over a frictionless pulley (also of negligible mass). At time t = 0 container 1 has mass 1.4 kg and container 2 has mass 3.1 kg, but container 1 is losing mass (through a leak) at the constant rate of 0.16 kg/s. At what rate is the acceleration magnitude of the containers changing at (a)t = 0 and (b)t = 3 s? (c) When does the acceleration reach its maximum value? m2

The drawing shows Robin Hood(mass = 77.0 kg) about to escape froma dangerous situation. With one hand,he is gripping the rope that holds up achandelier (mass = 195 kg). When hecuts the rope where it is tied to thefloor, the chandelier will fall, and hewill b. pulled up toward a balconyabove. Ignore the friction between therope and the beams over which itslides, and find (a) the accelerationwith which Robin is pulled upward and (b) thetension in the rope while Robin escapes.
