A crane is being used to lift a container onto a cargo ship. The crane initially lifts the container up with a constant positive (upwards is positive) acceleration, a l i f t . The crane then reduces the tension in the cable so that the container slows to a stop with a constant negative (downward) acceleration, a s t o p = - 3 a l i f t . Assume the acceleration goes directly from upwards to downwards with no time between the two. The container has a mass of 553.3 kg, the total distance the container is lifted is 9.9 m, and the tension in the cable lifting the container is 6037 N while the container is accelerating upwards. What is the largest velocity of the container during the entire lift?

A crane is being used to lift a container onto a cargo ship. You need to program the crane so that it lifts the container with a constant positive acceleration, a, during the first half of the lift and with a constant negative acceleration of the same magnitude, -a, during the second half of the lift. You want to do this so that the maximum speed of the container during the lift is 8.1 m/s. The containers are initially at...

A statue with a mass of 103.1 kg is being lifted by a crane attached to a building. At one point in the lift, the statue is moving upwards with a speed of 5.1 m/s and slowing down (the speed is getting smaller). The magnitude of the acceleration is 1.82 m/s^2. What is the tension in the cable lifting the statue? Give your answer in N to three significant figures. Assume the rope is ideal.
A 1500-kg air conditioning unit is being lifted by a crane onto the roof of a building. The unit starts on the ground and is raised straight up to a height of 12.0 m by a cable attached to the crane. The tension in the cable during the lift is 1.54 × 104 N. (Reminders: a free body diagram will probably be helpful, and work can be positive or negative.) (a) How much work is done on the air conditioning...
