Question
**Problem Statement:**

Force \( F \) pulls the rope down at a constant speed of 4 ft/s. Determine

a) the power in units of horsepower (hp) delivered to block B, which has a weight of 100 lbs, and

b) the value of \( F \).

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram illustrates a pulley system with a block \( B \) attached to a rope. The system includes two fixed pulleys. A downward force \( F \) is applied to the rope.

- Block \( B \) is labeled at the bottom right and is shown hanging.
- The rope attached to block \( B \) passes over two pulleys.
- The red arrow indicates the direction of force \( F \), acting downward.
- The variables \( x_A \), \( d \), \( x_B \), and \( c \) are marked, indicating positions or lengths within the pulley setup.

This setup is designed to evaluate the power and force requirements for the shown motion.
