Figure 5-53 shows a man sitting in a bosun’s chair that dangles from a massless rope, which runs over a massless, frictionless pulley and back down to the man’s hand. The combined mass of man and chair is 95.0 kg. With what force magnitude must the man pull on the rope if he is to rise (a) with a constant velocity and (b) with an upward acceleration of 1.30 m/s2? (Hint: A free-body diagram can really help.) If the rope on the right extends to the ground and is pulled by a co-worker, with what force magnitude must the coworker pull for the man to rise (c) with a constant velocity and (d) with an upward acceleration of 1.30 m/s2? What is the magnitude of the force on the ceiling from the pulley system in (e) part a, (f) part b, (g) part c, and (h) part d?

GO A block is pressed against a vertical wall by a force P, as the drawing shows. This force can either push the block upward at a constant ve- locity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The magnitude of the force is different in the two cases, while the directional angle 0 is the same. Kinetic friction exists between the block and the wall, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.250. The weight of the block is 39.0 N, and the directional angle for the force P is 0 = 30.0°.
