Chapter 3, Problem 11P
Three motion diagrams for a moving elevator are shown in Figure P3.11. Construct two force diagrams (for two consecutive moments) for the elevator for each motion diagram. Be sure that the lengths of the force arrows are the appropriate relative lengths and that there is consistency between the force diagrams and the motion diagrams. What assumptions did you make?
