A C

Problem 2: [1, 1310] The elevator has a mass of mE = 500 kg and the counterweight at A has a mass of mA = 150 kg. If the elevator attains a speed of v = 10 m/s after it rises a distance h = 40 m, determine the constant force developed in the cable at B . Neglect the mass of the pulleys and cable.

Problem 3: [1, 1327] The safe S has a weight of W = 200 lb, and is supported by the rope and pulley arrangement shown. If the end of the rope is given to a boy of weight Wb = 90 lb, determine his acceleration if in the confusion he doesnt let go of the rope. Neglect the mass of the pulleys and rope.
S

Problem 4: [1, 1336] The blocks of weight WA = 80 lb and WB = 20 lb are connected by a cable and pulley system and the rough surface ( = 0.20) is inclined at an angle = 60 . Determine the acceleration of block A when the system is released from rest. Neglect the mass of the pulleys and cord.
