- A 500-ft-long aerial tramway cable having a weight per unit length of 2.8 lb/ft is suspended between two points at the same elevation. Knowing that the sag is 125 ft, find (a) the horizontal distance between the supports, (b) the maximum tension in the cable.arrow_forwardA 40-m cable is strung as shown between two buildings. The maximum tension is found to be 350 N, and the lowest point of the cable is observed to be 6 m above the ground. Determine (a) the horizontal distance between the buildings, (b) the total mass of the cable.arrow_forwardUsing two ropes and a roller chute, two workers are unloading a 200-lb cast-iron counterweight from a truck. Knowing that at the instant shown the counterweight is kept from moving and that the positions of points A, B, and C are, respectively, A(0, –20 in., 40 in.), B(–40 in., 50 in., 0), and C(45 in., 40 in., 0), and assuming that no friction exists between the counterweight and the chute, determine the tension in each rope. (Hint: Because there is no friction, the force exerted by the chute on the counterweight must be perpendicular to the chute.)arrow_forward

Neglecting the effect of friction, determine (a) the time at which the velocity of collar B will be 2.5 m/s to the left, (b) the corresponding tension in the cable.arrow_forwardA 25-kg block A rests on an inclined surface, and a 15-kg counterweight B is attached to a cable as shown. Neglecting friction, determine the acceleration of A and the tension in the cable immediately after the system is released from rest.arrow_forward
- A spring scale A and a lever scale B having equal lever arms are fastened to the roof of an elevator, and identical packages are attached to the scales as shown. Knowing that when the elevator moves downward with an acceleration of 1 m/s2 the spring scale indicates a load of 60 N, determine (b) the load indicated by the spring scale and the mass needed to balance the lever scale when the elevator moves upward with an acceleration of 1 m/s2.arrow_forwardA thin circular rod is supported in a vertical plane by a bracket at A. Attached to the bracket and loosely wound around the rod is a spring of constant k= 3 lb/ft and undeformed length equal to the arc of circle AB. An 8-oz collar C , not attached to the spring, can slide without friction along the rod. Knowing that the collar is released from rest at an angle 0 with the vertical, determine (a) the smallest value of 0 for which the collar will pass through D and reach point A, (b) the velocity of the collar as it reaches point A.arrow_forwardThe double pulley shown in the figure has a mass of 3 kg and a radius of 100 mm rotation.

One engineer, Chersiphron, tried several different techniques to do this. One method was to cut pivot holes into the ends of the stone and then use oxen to pull the column. The 4-ft diameter column weighs 12,000 lbs, and the team of oxen generates a constant pull force of 1500 lbs on the center of the cylinder G. Knowing that the column starts from rest and rolls without slipping, determine (a) the velocity of its center G after it has moved 5 ft, (b) the minimum static coefficient of friction that will keep it from slipping.arrow_forward
