Two configurations for raising an elevator are shown. Elevator A with attached hoisting motor and drum has a total mass of 900 kg. Elevator B without motor and drum also has a mass of 900 kg. If the motor supplies a constant torque of to its 250-mm-diameter drum for 2 s in each case, select the configuration which results in the greater upward acceleration and determine the corresponding velocity v of the elevator 1.2 s after it starts from rest. The mass of the motorized drum is small, thus permitting it to be analyzed as though it were in equilibrium. Neglect the mass of cables and pulleys and all friction.
