Construct Your Own Problem Consider the tension in an elevator cable during the time the elevator starts from rest and accelerates its load upward to some cruising velocity. Taking the elevator and its load to be the system of interest, draw a free-body diagram. Then calculate the tension in the cable. Among the things to consider are the mass of the elevator and its load, the final velocity, and the time taken to reach that velocity.

- An object with a mass of m placed on an oblique surface at an angle. We applied a horizontal force f = mg on the particle as shown. Assume that the friction force between the object and the surface is so large that the object remains in place? Find the vertical force FN and the friction force ff ? In terms of the static friction coefficient, what is the range of the angle at which the object remains stagnant?arrow_forwardDraw an inclined plane and put an object of mass M on the inclined surface. Show a free-body diagram with all the forces including the force of friction. Measure the angle of inclination using the concepts of trigonometry, sine cosine, and tangent of the angle theta. Find the angle of inclination using all three and compare the value of theta. Measure the angle of inclination using a protractor and compare its value measured using trig functions. Make an inclined plane using a surface available to you and by putting the same against the surface of a wall or by putting the surface on a stack of books or any other object making the angle of inclination between 30-40 degrees. Measure the three sides of the inclined plane formed by using a ruler and then measure the angle of inclination using trig as well as a protractor. Put an object at the top of the inclined plane and adjust the angle of inclination so that the object starts moving downward. As soon as the object starts moving, start…arrow_forwardA person pushes on a stationary 125 N box with a force of 93N at 30 degrees below the horizontal.
