One elevator arrangement includes the passenger car, a counterweight, and two large pulleys, as shown in Figure 11-50. Each pulley has a radius of 1.2 m and a moment of inertia of 380 kg · m2. The top pulley is driven by a motor The elevator car plus passengers has a mass of 3100 kg, and the counterweight has a mass of 2700 kg. If the motor is to accelerate the elevator car upward at 1.8 m/s2, how much torque must it generate? Hint: The two pulleys move together so you can model them as a single pulley with the sum of the moments of inertia.

The pulley is a solid disk with a mass of 0.25 kg and a radius of 0.025 m. The table exerts a 2.5 N frictional force on the block. The system is released from rest. How fast is the block moving when the hanging mass reaches the floor? Assume the table is long enough that the block remains on the table.
