Chapter 12.1, Problem 12.4P
A spring scale A and a lever scale B having equal lever arms are fastened to the roof of an elevator, and identical packages are attached to the scales as shown. Knowing that when the elevator moves downward with an acceleration of 1 m/s2 the spring scale indicates a load of 60 N, determine (a) the weight of the packages, (b) the load indicated by the spring scale and the mass needed to balance the lever scale when the elevator moves upward with an acceleration of 1 m/s2 .

- Determine the magnitude and direction of acceleration of a system composed of a 4 kg cast iron block and a 3 kg steel block connected by a pulley. The two blocks are placed on each side of a 2- sided brass inclined plane. The cast iron is placed on the 20-degree side, while the steel is placed on the 45-degree side of the inclined. The coefficients of kinetic friction for cast iron and steel on brass are 0.30 and 0.44, respectively. The static coefficients of friction are 0.40 for cast iron on brass and 0.50 for steel on brass.arrow_forwardHuman centrifuges are often used to simulate different acceleration levels for pilots.
