As rock climbers ascend El Capitan over the course of 2 or 3 days, they have to bring all their food, water and camping equipment with them. All of this gear gets put in a large heavy duty bag and is hauled up after each section (called a pitch) that they climb. Climbers will generally climb a 50m pitch then stop and set up a pulley system to haul up the bag. If the rope has a mass of 0.05 kg per meter, the bag of gear has a mass 20kg and the rope is 50m long, how much work (in N-m) is required to pull up all the rope plus the haul bag?

You attach the actor’s harness to a 130-kg sandbag by means of a lightweight steel cable running smoothly over two frictionless pulleys as in 8.5a. You need 3.00 m of cable between the harness and the nearest pulley so that the pulley can be hidden behind a curtain. For the apparatus to work successfully, the sandbag must never lift above the floor as the actor swings from above the stage to the floor. Let us call the initial angle that the actor’s cable makes with the vertical θ. What is the maximum value θ can have before the sandbag lifts off the floor?arrow_forward
