Aliyah is solving a physics problem involving an elevator. She draws
the (unlabeled) force diagram for the elevator show on the right and
says "this force diagram could represent an elevator moving upwards."
José disagrees. Looking at the force diagram he says "the way you've
drawn the force diagram the elevator CANNOT be moving upwards. It
MUST be moving downwards because the force pointing down is bigger
than the force pointing up."
(a) Correctly label the force diagram. (b) Who do you agree with and why? For
the statement you disagree with, how would you convince him/her that he/she is
incorrect?
When the 13-lb block A is released from rest it lifts the two 18-lb weights B and C. Neglect the weight of the cord and the size of the pulleys. (Figure 1)
Determine the maximum distance A will fall before its motion is momentarily stopped.Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
THE ANSWER IS NOT 4.519 ft. The last guy was WRONG!
