Figure 5-53 shows a man sitting in a bosun’s chair that dangles from a massless rope, which runs over a massless, frictionless pulley and back down to the man’s hand. The combined mass of man and chair is 95.0 kg. With what force magnitude must the man pull on the rope if he is to rise (a) with a constant velocity and (b) with an upward acceleration of 1.30 m/s2? (Hint: A free-body diagram can really help.) If the rope on the right extends to the ground and is pulled by a co-worker, with what force magnitude must the coworker pull for the man to rise (c) with a constant velocity and (d) with an upward acceleration of 1.30 m/s2? What is the magnitude of the force on the ceiling from the pulley system in (e) part a, (f) part b, (g) part c, and (h) part d?

- A train has a length of 92 m and starts from rest with a constant acceleration at time t = 0 s. At this instant, a car just reaches the end of the train. The car is moving with a constant velocity. At a time t = 14 s, the car just reaches the front of the train. Ultimately, however, the train pulls ahead of the car, and at time t = 28s, the car is again at the rear of the train. Find the magnitudes of (a) the car's velocity and (b) the train's acceleration.arrow_forwardA spaceship is travelling in a straight line.
