In the figure a worker lifts a weight by pulling down on a rope with a force . The upper pulley is attached to the ceiling by a chain,and the lower pulley is attached to the weight by another chain.The weight is lifted at constant speed. Assume that the rope,pulleys, and chains all have negligible weights.
A) In terms of ,find the tension in the lower chain.
B) In terms of ,find the tension in upper chain.
C) In terms of ,find the magnitude of the force if the weight is lifted at constant speed.
In the figure below, the rolling axle, 1.43 m long, is pushed along horizontal rails at a constant speed .
A resistor ohm is connected to the rails at points a and b, directly opposite each other. (The wheels make good electrical contact with the rails, and so the axle, rails, and R form a closed-loop circuit. The only significant resistance in the circuit is R.) There is a uniform magnetic field vertically downward. Calculate the induced current I in the resistor and what horizontal force F is required to keep the axle rolling at constant speed?
A stream of water strikes a stationary turbine bladehorizontally, as the drawing illustrates. The incident water streamhas a velocity of +18.0 m/s, while the exiting water stream has avelocity of -18.0 m/s. The mass of water per second that strikesthe blade is 17.0 kg/s. Find themagnitude of the average force exerted on the water by theblade.

A frictionless plane is 10.0 m long and inclined atA sled starts at the bottom with an initial speed of 5.00 m/s up the incline. When it reaches the point at which it momentarily stops, a second sled is released from the top of this incline with an initial speed v1 both sleds reach the bottom of thein cline at the same moment.
(a) Determine the distance that the first sled traveled up the incline.
(b) Determine the initial speed of the second sled.
A window washer of mass M is sitting on a platform suspended by a system of cables and pulleys. He is pulling on the cable with a force of magnitude F.The cables and pulleys are ideal (massless and frictionless), and the platform has negligible mass.
Find the magnitude of the minimum force F that allows the window washer to move upward.
Express your answer in terms of the mass M and the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity g.
A potters wheel having a radius of 0.50 m and a moment of inertia of is rotating freely at 50 rev/min.
