Answer to Problem 72P

Maximum force is 26400N_

Minimum force is 20640N_

Explanation of Solution

Write the equation of force exerted by the supporting cables on the elevator car.

    F=ma        (I)

Here m is the mass of the elevator and a is the acceleration.

Write the equation of force due to gravity

    F=mg        (II)

Here g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Then the maximum force would be

    Fmax=mg+ma=m(g+a)        (III)

The minimum force would be

    Fmin=m(ga)        (IV)

Conclusion

Substitute 2400kg for m, 1.2m/s2 for a and 9.8m/s2 for g in (III)

    Fmax=2400kg(9.8m/s2+1.2m/s2)=26400N

Substitute 2400kg for m, 1.2m/s2 for a and 9.8m/s2 for g in (IV)

  Fmin=2400kg(9.8m/s21.2m/s2)=20640N

Maximum force is 26400N_.

Minimum force is 20640N_.

Answer to Problem 72P

The time is 102s_.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression to find the time taken to reach the maximum ascent speed.

    v=u+at1        (I)

Here, v is the maximum ascent speed, u is the initial speed, a is the acceleration, and t1 is the time taken to reach the maximum ascent speed.

Write the expression to find the distance covered during acceleration.

    s1=ut+12at12

Here, s1 is the vertical displacement

Write the expression to find the distance covered.

    s2=vt2

Here, s2 is the vertical displacement and t2 is the time of displacement with uniform speed.

Conclusion:

Substitute 1.2m/s2 for a, 18m/s for v and 0m/s for u in (I)

    18m/s=0+(1.2m/s2)t1t1=18m/s1.2m/s2=15s

Vertical distance covered during this time is,

Substitute 1.2m/s2 for a, 15s for t1 and 0m/s for u in (I)

    s1=0(15s)+12(1.2m/s2)(15s)2=135m

Remaining vertical distance is,

    s2=640m135m=505m

Elevator moves with uniform speed to cover this distance.

Expression to calculate the time taken to cover this distance,

    t2=s2v

Substitute 505m and 18m/s for v.

    t2=505m18m/s=28s

The minimum time taken by the elevator to ascend from the lobby to the observation desk is,

    t=t1+t2

Substitute 15s for t1 and 28s for t2 to find t.

    t=15s+28s=43s

Therefore, the minimum time taken by the elevator to ascend from the lobby to the observation desk is 43s_.

(c)

To determine

Maximum and minimum values of a passenger’s apparent weight during the ascend.

(c)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 72P

The maximum weight during the ascent is 660N_.

The minimum weight during the ascend is 516N_

Explanation of Solution

The maximum weight would be

    W=M(g+a)        (IX)

Here W is the weight and M is the mass of the passenger

The minimum weight would be

    W=M(ga)        (X)

Conclusion

Substitute 60kg for M, 1.2m/s2 for a and 9.8m/s2 for g in (IX)

    Fmax=60kg(9.8m/s2+1.2m/s2)=660N

Substitute 60kg for M, 1.2m/s2 for a and 9.8m/s2 for g in (X)

    W=60kg(9.8m/s21.2m/s2)=516N

The maximum weight during the ascent is 660N_.

The minimum weight during the ascend is 516N_

Answer to Problem 72P

The time is 12.49s_

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression to find the time taken to reach the maximum decent speed.

    v=u+at1        (II)

Here, v is the maximum ascent speed, u is the initial speed, a is the acceleration, and t1 is the time taken to reach the maximum descent speed.

Write the expression to find the distance covered during acceleration.

    s1=ut+12at12

Here, s1 is the vertical downward displacement

Write the expression to find the distance covered.

    s2=vt2

Here, s2 is the vertical downward displacement and t2 is the time of displacement with uniform speed.

Conclusion

Substitute 1.2m/s2 for a, 10m/s for v and 0m/s for u in (I)

    10m/s=0+(1.2m/s2)t1t1=10m/s1.2m/s2=8.33s

Vertical distance covered during this time is,

Substitute 1.2m/s2 for a, 8.33s for t1 and 0m/s for u in (I)

    s1=0(8.33s)+12(1.2m/s2)(8.33s)2=41.6m

Remaining vertical distance is,

    s2=640m41.6m=598.4m

Elevator moves with uniform speed to cover this distance.

Expression to calculate the time taken to cover this distance,

    t2=s2v

Substitute 598.4m and 10m/s for v.

    t2=598.4m10m/s=59.84s

The minimum time taken by the elevator to ascend from the lobby to the observation desk is,

    t=t1+t2

Substitute 8.33s for t1 and 59.84s for t2 to find t.

    t=8.33s+59.84s=68.2s68s

Therefore, the minimum time taken by the elevator to ascend from the lobby to the observation desk is 68s.
