A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of1200 kg, which is required to travel upward 54 m in 3.0 min , starting and ending at rest. The elevator鈥檚 counterweight has a mass of only 950 kg, and so the elevator motor must help. What average power is required of the force the motor exerts on the cab via the cable?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The average power required of the force the motor exerts on the cab via the cable is

P=7.4102W

Step by step solution

01

Given information:

Mass of the cab of freight elevator is, me=1200kg

Mass of the counter weight of the elevator is, mc=950kg

Distance required to travel by the elevator is,d=54m

Time interval required to travel a distance by the elevator is,

t=3m=180s

02

Determining the concept

This problem is based on the relation between the force and work done. Work done by the force is the product of displacement of an object and the applied force on it in the direction of displacement. To initiate, identify alltheforces involved in this process, and find their corresponding work done. Then, find the total work done . By using these values,the average power prequired of the force the motor exerts on the cab via the cable can be calculated.

Formulae are as follow:

Work done by the gravity is,

W=-mgd

where, m is the mass, g is an acceleration due to gravity and d is the displacement.

The power is given by,

P=Wmt

03

Determining the average power required of the force the motor exerts on the cab via the cable

Here, the loaded elevator is moving upwards with a constant speed. Therefore, three forces are involved:

Gravitational force exerted on the elevator and the corresponding work done is We.

Gravitational force exerted on the counter weight and the corresponding work done is Wc.

Force by the motor via cable and the corresponding work done is Wm

Therefore, the total work done is given as,

W=We+Wc+Wm(ii)

Since, the loaded elevator is moving upwards with a constant speed, the kinetic energy must be constant, and hence, the work done due to kinetic energy is zero.

W=K=0

Using notation in equation (i), work done by gravity on the elevator is given by,

We=-megdWe=-12009.854We=-635040J

(iii)

Similarly,using notation in equation (i), work done by the gravity on counter weight is given by,

Wc=-mcgdWc=-9509.854We=-502740J

(iv)

And using notation in equation (i), work done by the motor via cable is given by,

Wm=-We-WcWm=635040-502740Wm=1.323105J

(v)

Time interval for Wmis

t=3.0m=180sWm=Pt

Therefore, the power supplied by the motor to lift the elevator in interval is,

P=WmtP=1.323105180P=735W7.4102W

Hence, the average power required of the force the motor exerts on the cab via the cable is P=7.4102W

In Fig.7-10 , we must apply a force of magnitude to hold the block stationary at x=-2.0cm. From that position, we then slowly move the block so that our force does +4.0J of work on the spring鈥揵lock system; the block is then again stationary. What is the block鈥檚 position? (Hint:There are two answers.)

Figure 7-40 gives the acceleration of a 2.00 kg particle as an applied force Fa moves it from rest along an x axis fromx=0tox=9.0m. The scale of the figure鈥檚 vertical axis is set byas=6.0m/s2. How much work has the force done on the particle when the particle reaches (a) x=4.0 m, (b) x=7.0 m, and (c) x=9.0 m? What is the particle鈥檚 speed and direction of travel when it reaches (d) x=4.0 m, (e) x=7.0 m, and (f) x=9.0 m ?
