Chapter 7, Problem 43EAP
The century-old ascensores in Valparaiso, Chile, are picturesque cable cars built on stilts to keep the passenger compartments level as they go up and down the steep hillsides. As FIGURE P7-43 show's, one car ascends as the other descends. The cars use a two-cable arrangement to compensate for friction; one cable passing around a large pulley connects the Cars, the second is pulled by a small motor. Suppose the mass of both cars (with passengers) is 1500 kg, the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.020, and the cars move at constant speed. What is the tension in (a) the connecting cable and (b) the cable to the motor?

- The century-old ascensores in Valparaiso, Chile, are small cable cars that go up and down the steep hillsides. As (Figure 1) shows, one car ascends as the other descends. The cars use a two-cable arrangement to compensate for friction; one cable passing around a large pulley connects the cars, the second is pulled by a small motor. Suppose the mass of each car (with passengers) is 1400 kgkg, the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.030, and the cars move at constant speed. Figure 1 of 1The figure shows two cable cars at a 35 degrees incline. A lower car is connected to a cable, which is fed through a pulley uphill. From the pulley the cable runs to the second car down the hill. From the second car another cable runs uphill to a motor. The lower car moves downhill while the upper car moves uphill.

Quickly, he ties a rope to a rock of mass ma and makes his way over the ledge (see the figure). If the coefficient of maximum static friction between the rock and the ground is µ, and the mass of the hiker is mâ, what is the maximum mass of the friend, mc, that the rock can hold so the hikers can then make their way up over the ledge?

That is, he traverses a chasm by stringing a rope between a tree on one side of the chasm and a tree on the opposite side, 25 m away. The rope must sag sufficiently so it won't break. Assume the rope can provide a tension force of up to 26 kN before breaking, and use a "safety factor" of 10 (that is, the rope should only be required to undergo a tension force of 2.6 kN) at the center of the Tyrolean traverse.
