Construct Your Own Problem Consider the tension in an elevator cable during the time the elevator starts from rest and accelerates its load upward to some cruising velocity. Taking the elevator and its load to be the system of interest, draw a free-body diagram. Then calculate the tension in the cable. Among the things to consider are the mass of the elevator and its load, the final velocity, and the time taken to reach that velocity.

You are pushing a box of mass m up a rough ramp of incline angleθ (see figure). Your applied constant force F is to the right ( parallel to the floor, not the ramp). There is friction between the box and the ramp and you push with just enough force to keep the box moving at a constant velocity.
a) Draw a free-body diagram for the box (don’t rotate the FBD).
b) Derive an expression for the magnitude of force F in terms of μk, g, θ, and m.
A safety mechanism of a lift is simplified by the figure below. A 300 kg block is to slide over
an inclined surface. The coefficient of friction between the block rollers and the inclined
surface is p=0.3. If the system is in equilibrium, work out the following:
(a) Free body diagram of the complete system.
(b) Find the normal force N on the block and the maximum friction force Fmax.
(c) Find the mass of the lift m, required to satisfy the equilibrium and prevents the
block moving downward,
(d) Find tension force in the cable
(e) If the mass of the lift is 150 kg, p=0.3, and surface angle is increased to 30° will the
block move upward? Explain the answer.

- Draw an inclined plane and put an object of mass M on the inclined surface. Show a free-body diagram with all the forces including the force of friction. Measure the angle of inclination using the concepts of trigonometry, sine cosine, and tangent of the angle theta. Find the angle of inclination using all three and compare the value of theta. Measure the angle of inclination using a protractor and compare its value measured using trig functions. Make an inclined plane using a surface available to you and by putting the same against the surface of a wall or by putting the surface on a stack of books or any other object making the angle of inclination between 30-40 degrees.
