- 6. An elevator has a mass of 4500 kg. and can carry maximum load 1800 kg. If the elevator moves up, it carries the maximum load, at a speed of 3.8 m/s. determine the power required for the elevator to maintain that speed.arrow_forwardDetermine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on a 5-kg particle at the instant t = 2 s, if the particle is moving along a horizontal path defined by the equations r = (2t + 10) m and u = (1.5t2 - 6t) rad, where t is in seconds.arrow_forwardIf the 50-kg load A is hoisted by motor M so that the load has a constant velocity of 1.5 m/s, determine the force (T) of the cable connected directly on the block.arrow_forward
- The position of a 5 kg object moving on a path is given by x = (0.25t3) m, y = (1.5t2) m, z = (7- 0.75t2.5) m, where t is in seconds. Determine the magnitude of total forces affecting the body when t = 3 s.arrow_forwardA tugboat T having a mass of 19 Mg is tied to a barge B having a mass of 75 Mg. If the rope is "elastic" such that it has a stiffness of k=600kN/m, determine the maximum stretch in the rope during the initial towing. Originally both the tugboat and barge are moving in the same direction with speeds (vT)1= 15 km/h and (vB)1= 10 km/h, respectively. Neglect the resistance of the water.arrow_forwardThe potential function associated with a force P in space is known to be V(x,y,z) =-(x2 +y2+z2)1/2. (a) Determine the x,y, and zcomponents of P. (b) Calculate the work done by P from O to D by integrating along the path OABD , and show that it is equal to the negative of the change in potential from O to D.arrow_forward
- Determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on a 5-kg particle at the instant t = 2 s, if the particle is moving along a horizontal path defined by the equations r = (2t + 10) m and theta = (1.5t^2 - 6t) rad, where t is in seconds.arrow_forwardA plow located on the front of a locomotive scoops up snow at the rate of 10 ft^3/s and stores it in the train. If the locomotive is traveling at a constant speed of 12 ft/s, determine the resistance to motion caused by the shoveling. The specific weight of snow is gs = 6 lb/ft^3arrow_forwardThe winding drum D is drawing in the cable at an accelerated rate of 4.5 m/s^2. Determine the cable tension if the suspended crate has a mass of 1000 kg.arrow_forward
