You are designing a simple elevator system for an old warehouse that is being converted to loft apartments. A 22.500-N elevator is to be accelerated upward by connecting it to a counter-weight by means of a light (but strong!) cable passing over a solid uniform disk-shaped pulley. The cable does not slip where it is in contact with the surface of the pulley. There is no appreciable friction at the axle of the pulley, but its mass is 875 kg and it is 1.50 m in diameter, (a) What mass should the counterweight have so that it will accelerate the elevator upward through 6.75 m in the first 3.00 s, starting from rest? (b) What is the tension in the cable on each side of the pulley?

The gravitational force Fg on the arm acts at point A, a distance of 0.2900 m from the shoulder joint, which is represented by point O. The shoulder pushes down and to the right on the humerus bone of the arm with a force Fs at point O, at an angle ? as shown. The deltoid muscle pulls back on the arm toward the shoulder with a tension force Ft. This tension force acts at a point 0.08000 m to the right of point O, and it is directed up and to the left, at a 12.00° angle with respect to the horizontal. An arm is extending horizontally to the right with a cutout that shows muscles in the upper arm. A horizontal dashed line extends along the bottom of the muscles and another along the top. Point O is labeled at the left end of the arm on the lower horizontal line. An unlabeled point lies 0.080 m horizontally to the right of point O.

What is the speed of the mass after it has fallen 3.56 m?arrow_forwardA wheel of radius 0.269 m, which we can model as a thin disk, is mounted on a frictionless horizontal axis. The mass of the wheel is 2.44 kg. A massless cord wrapped around the wheel is attached to a block of 4.16 kg that slides on a horizontal frictionless surface. If a horizontal force P with a magnitude of 10.1 N is applied to the block as shown below. If the wheel and block start at rest, and the block is moved through a displacement of 2.60 m what is the final angular velocity of the wheel in rad/s, assuming the cord does not slip.

- A participant in a "strongman" competition uses an old-fashioned device to move a large load with only muscle power. A 85-kg bucket of rocks is suspended from a sturdy, lightweight beam 0.78 m from a pivot. The man lifts the beam at its end, 3.0 m from the pivot, and holds it steady. Use g = 10 m/s2. How much force must the man apply, in Newtons? Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardA uniform rod is set up so that it can rotate about an axis at perpendicular to one of its ends. The length and mass of the rod are 0.801 m and 1.25 kg, respectively. A force of constant magnitude F acts on the rod at the end opposite the rotation axis. The direction of the force is perpendicular to both the rod's length and the rotation axis.

Object m2 is resting on the floor, and object m1 is 4.50 m above the floor when it is released from rest. The pulley axis is frictionless. The cord is light, does not stretch, and does not slip on the pulley. a) Calculate the time interval required for m1 to hit the floor (in second). b) Calculate the time required again if the pulley were massless (in second)?arrow_forwardWhat? This problem again? Not exactly. A block with mass m,ị = 3.00 kg sits on a horizontal table and is attached to a rope. The rope then passes over a MASSIVE pulley this time and is attached to a block of mass m2 = 2.00 kg, which hangs vertically (see picture). The coefficient of kinetic friction of the interface between the table and m, is 0.1. You may assume the pulley section is a disk with a mass of 2 kg. We will keep the pulley frictionless for brevity. Ideal disk pulley with mass Find the acceleration of the blocks using your choice of either Newton's Laws or the energy conservation method. Yes, I can actually read your minds from here; of 2 kg and the answer is no, you do not need the radius of the pulley.arrow_forward
