Answer:
A.) 1372 N
B.) 1316 N
C.) 1428 N
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a 140 kg load is attached to a crane, which moves the load vertically. Calculate the tension in the cable for the following cases:
a. The load moves downward at a constant velocity
At constant velocity, acceleration = 0
T - mg = ma
T - mg = 0
T = mg
T = 140 × 9.8
T = 1372N
b. The load accelerates downward at a rate 0.4 m/s??
Mg - T = ma
140 × 9.8 - T = 140 × 0.4
1372 - T = 56
-T = 56 - 1372
- T = - 1316
T = 1316N
C. The load accelerates upward at a rate 0.4 m/s??
T - mg = ma
T - 140 × 9.8 = 140 × 0.4
T - 1372 = 56
T = 56 + 1372
T = 1428N
