Chapter 7, Problem 43EAP
The century-old ascensores in Valparaiso, Chile, are picturesque cable cars built on stilts to keep the passenger compartments level as they go up and down the steep hillsides. As FIGURE P7-43 show's, one car ascends as the other descends. The cars use a two-cable arrangement to compensate for friction; one cable passing around a large pulley connects the Cars, the second is pulled by a small motor. Suppose the mass of both cars (with passengers) is 1500 kg, the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.020, and the cars move at constant speed. What is the tension in (a) the connecting cable and (b) the cable to the motor?
