FIGURE 1: Wind tunnel experiment to measure how the force of air resistance depends on velocity.
A free-falling object such as a bungee jumper is subject to the upward force of air
resistance. We assumed that this force was proportional to some power b of velocity as
in
Fu=CaVb
where Fy = the upward force of air resistance [N = kg m/s? ], Ca = drag coefficient
(kg/m), and V = velocity [m/s]. An individual is suspended in a wind tunnel and the force
measured for various levels of wind velocity. The result might be as listed in Table 1

The upper pulley is attached to the ceiling by a chain, and the lower pulley is attached to the weight by another chain. The weight is lifted at constant speed. Assume that the rope, pulleys, and chains all have negligible weights. In terms of w, find the tension in the lower chain. In terms of w, find the tension in upper chain.
