The mine skip is being hauled to the surface over the curved track by the cable wound
Chapter 2, Problem 2/125(choose chapter or problem)
The mine skip is being hauled to the surface over the curved track by the cable wound around the 30-in. drum, which turns at the constant clockwise speed of 120 rev/min. The shape of the track is designed so that , where x and y are in feet. Calculate the magnitude of the total acceleration of the skip as it reaches a level of 2 ft below the top. Neglect the dimensions of the skip compared with those of the path. Recall that the radius of curvature is given by 2/125
