QUESTION:

The 400-lb cylinder at A is hoisted using the motor and the pulley system shown. If the speed of point B on the cable is increased at a constant rate from zero to \(\mathrm{v}_B=10\mathrm{\ ft}/\mathrm{s}\) in t = 5 s, determine the tension in the cable at B to cause the motion.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

The acceleration of the point B after  is expressed as:

                                                             

Here,  is described as the velocity of the point B after the time period of ,  is described as the point B’s initial velocity, the point B’s acceleration is  and the time of the increase of the acceleration is .

For ,  and ,

                                                             

The diagram of the cable’s length that connects with the cylinder and also the motor has been provided below:
