Question

You want to lift a heavy box with a mass L = 56.0 kg using the two-ideal pulley system as shown. With what minimum force do you have to pull down on the rope in order to lift the box at a constant velocity? One pulley is attached to the ceiling and one to the box.

Answer 1

The minimum force required to lift the box at constant velocity is determined as 274.4 N.

Minimum force required

The minimum force required to lift the box at constant velocity is the tension in one of the pulleys, and the magnitude is calculated as follows;

2T = mg

where;

• m is mass of the box
• T is the minimum force required

2T = mg

T = mg/2

T = (56 x 9.8)/2

T = 274.4 N
