Question

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 rest on the dock.

The container has a mass of 960 kg and the total distance the container is lifted is 10.9 m.

What is the tension force in the cable used to lift the container during the first half (accelerating upwards) part of the lift?
