How much breaking speed does the cable car need to descend at a constant speed? One day the brakes fail just as the cable car leaves the top on its downward journey. What is the runaway car’s speed at the bottom of the hill?
The 1990 kg cable car shown in the figure descends a
200-m-high hill. In addition to its brakes, the cable car
controls its speed by pulling an 1770 kg counterweight up
the other side of the hill. The rolling friction of both the
cable car and the counterweight are negligible.
