A 740-kg boulder is raised from a quarry 119 m deep by a long uniform chain having a mass of 550 kg . This chain is of uniform s

trength, but at any point it can support a maximum tension no greater than 2.50 times its weight without breaking.

Answer:

A) the maximum acceleration the boulder can have and still get out of the quarry

B) how long does it take to be lifted out at maximum acceleration if it started from rest

Explanation:

A)

let +y is upward. look below at the free body diagram. the mass M refers to the combined mass of the boulder and chain.

the weight of the chain is:   w_{c} =m_{c} g   and maximum tension is T=2.50 m_{c} g=1.41*10^4N

total mass and weight is :

M =m_{c}+ m_{b} =740kg+550kg=1290 kg

w_{M} =1.2650*10^4N

∑F_{y} =ma_{y}

T-M_{g} =Ma_{y}

a_{y} =(t-M_{g} )/M=(2.50m_{c} -M_{g} )/M=(2.50.550kg-1290kg)(9.8m/s^2)/1290kg

=0.645m/s^2

B)

maximum acceleration

a_{y} =0.645m/s^2\\\\y-y_{0} =119m\\v_{0y} =0

using y-y_{0} =v_{oy} t+1/2(a_{y} )t^2

to solve for t

t=\sqrt{2(y-y_{0} )/a_{y} }

t=\sqrt{2(119m)/0.645m/s^2} =19.20s
