The motor applies a constant downward force F = 550 lb to the cable connected to the 4000-lb elevator E shown in the figure. The counterweight has a weight of W = 3000 lb. Knowing that the elevator starts from rest, determine the time when the velocity of the elevator will be 3 m/s.
The 2-kg block B and 15-kg cylinder A are connected to a light cord that passes through a hole in the center of the smooth table. If the block is given a speed of v = 10 m/s, determine the radius r of the circular path along which it travels.
A two-engine jet transport has a loaded weight of 72000 lb and a forward thrust of 9710 lb per engine during takeoff. If the transport requires 3950 ft of level runway starting from rest to become airborne at a speed of 138 knots (1 knot = 1.151 mi/hr), determine the average resistance R to motion over the runway length due to drag (air resistance) and mechanical retardation by the landing gear.
