At time t = 0 s, a motor begins to move a small elevator of mass 117 kg by unreeling a cable. The position of theelevator as a function of time is given byy(t) = yie^(−t/t0)where yi = 87 m and t0 = 1.77 s and we have defined up to be the positive y direction. What is the tension in theelevator cable at time t = 3.26 s?
What horizontal forcemust be applied to a largeblock of mass M shown inFigure P4.85 so that theblocks remain stationaryrelative to M? Assume allsurfaces and the pulley arefrictionless. Notice that theforce exerted by the string accelerates m2.
