The century-old ascensores in Valparaiso, Chile, are small cable cars that go up and down the steep hillsides. As (Figure 1) shows, 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 each car (with passengers) is 1700 kg, the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.030, and the cars move at constant speed. Figure 35° Motor Pulley 1 of 1

There are nine books in a stack, each with a weight of 10 N. The coefficient of friction between all the books is 0.45 as is the coefficient between the table and the bottom book. What horizontal push must I just exceed on the next to the bottom book to start sliding the top eight books off the bottom one?
A man stands on the lateral surface of a cylinder, moves his legs, and moves the cylinder with constant speed (see figure). Considering that the coefficient of friction between the shoes and the cylinder is mu = 0.3. What will be the friction force between the cylinder and the man. The mass of man m = 70 Kg.
Three objects are connceted by a massless wires over a frictionless pulley. The right side of the pulley wire is connected to a 15kg block and right below that is a 10kg block on the bottom of the wire. The tension in the wire connecting the 10kg and 15kg objects is measured to be 133 N. What is the weight of the unknown mass on the left side of the pulley or other side of the pulley?
Two blocks each weighing 25 N are connected to the ends of a light string which is passed over a pulley. As the blocks hang vertically from the pulley, the tension in the string is
A desperate hiker has to think fast to help his friend who has fallen below him. Quickly, he ties a rope to a rock of mass ma and makes his way over the ledge (see the figure). If the coefficient of maximum static friction between the rock and the ground is µ, and the mass of the hiker is mâ, what is the maximum mass of the friend, mc, that the rock can hold so the hikers can then make their way up over the ledge? Assume the rope is parallel to the ground and the point where the rope passes over the ledge is frictionless. mc = Ju
In the figure here three ballot boxes are connected by cords, one of which wraps over a pulley having negligible friction on its axle and negligible mass. The masses are mA = 26 kg, mB = 45 kg, and mC = 12 kg. When the assembly is released from rest, (a) what is the tension in the cord connecting B and C, and (b) how far does A move in the first 0.200 s (assuming it does not reach the pulley)?
A 80.0 kg mail bag hangs by a vertical rope 3.5 m long. A postal worker then displaces the bag to a position 2.4 m sideways from its original position, always keeping the rope taut.
Determine the magnitude of the y-component of the reaction force at pin A (in kN). The beam AB is a standard 0.5 m I-beam with a mass of 95 kg per meter of length. 14 l A 0.25 m 0.5 m 0.12 m 5 m 25° 1.5 m 10 kN B
The Special Olympics raises money through "plane pull" events in which teams of 25 people compete to see who can pull a 74,000 kg airplane 3.7 m across the tarmac. The inertia of the plane is an issue--but so is the 14,000 N rolling friction force that works against the teams.If a team pulls with a constant force and moves the plane 3.7 m in 6.1 s (an excellent time), what fraction of the team's work goes to thermal energy?

The figure shows a 100-kg block being released from rest from a height of 1.0 m. It then takes 0.64 s for it to reach the floor. What is the mass m of the block on the left? There is no friction or mass in the pulley, and the connecting rope is very light.
