Your engineering firm is asked to specify the maximum load for theelevators in a new building. Each elevator has a mass 490 kg when empty and maximumacceleration 2.24 m/s2. The elevator cables can withstand a maximum tension of 19.5 kN beforebreaking. For safety, you need to ensure that the tension never exceeds two-thirds of that value.What is the maximum load that the elevator can safely carry? How many70-kg people is that?Briefly but clearly explain the reasoning for your choice of the sign of the acceleration.

Hi I need help with this question and answering the steps for it An 650-N painter stands 2.3 m from the right side of a 9-m-long beam of a scaffold, which is connected to cables at each end. The force exerted by Earth on the uniform beam is 246 N. Determine the forces that the cables exert on each end of the beam. Assume that g=10\frac{\text{N}}{\text{kg}}g=10kgN Draw a sketch of the situation, labeling all of the physical quantities given in the problem. Identify your system in the sketch. Make sure all relevant moments in time are shown in your sketch. Draw an extended-body force diagram showing all of the forces exerted on the bean and the points at which those forces are being exerted. Solve for force each cable exerts on the beam. Start with general equations and explain what you are doing and why you did what you did. Evaluate your solution. Describe how you evaluated your answer and whether or not you think your answer is reasonable.
The figure shows the Russel fracture traction device and a mechanical model of the leg. The leg is held in balance in the position indicated by the two weights attached to the two cables. The combined weight of the leg and cast is W=180 N. The distance between the points A and B where the cables are attached to the leg is given as L=100 cm and the angle of the leg with the horizontal is given as γ=8°. Point C is the center of gravity of the cast and leg at three quarters of the L measured from point A (3L/4= 75 cm). The angle that cable 2 makes with the horizontal is measured as β=50°. Accordingly, in order for the leg to remain in balance in the shown position; a) Find the tensile force T1 in cable 1. (Write your result in N)b) Find the tensile force T2 in cable 2. (Write your result in N)c) Find the angle α of cable 1 with the horizontal.

An athlete of 60 kg and 1.70 m tall performs the ring exercise called "the Christ", in which he keeps his body immobile with his arms extended horizontally as shown in Fig.-Prob.17(a). The angle with the vertical of the cords from which the rings hang is theta = 10. (a) Determine the tension T in the cords holding the rings. (b) Considering each arm of the athlete as a rigid horizontal bar subjected to the forces indicated in Fig.-Prob.17(b), calculate the value of the components RX and RY, the value of the reaction “R” and of the beta angle.- W is the weight of the arm, applied in the middle of its length.- R is the reaction at the shoulder joint O.- RX and RY are the horizontal and vertical components respectively of the reactionapplied at the shoulder joint O.- Note: Consider that the mass of each arm of the athlete is 3% of the total mass, and thatthe length of the arm is equal to 35% of its height.
