Equilibrium of Particle: Finding Maximum Crate Weight with Two 100N Cords

AI Thread Summary
To determine the maximum weight of a crate that can be hoisted at constant velocity using two cords, each with a maximum load of 100 N, it's essential to consider the tension in both cords. While one might assume both cords can equally share the load, the discussion emphasizes that one cord will reach its maximum capacity first. This means that the effective maximum weight supported is limited by the cord that reaches its limit first, not by both cords simultaneously. The conversation highlights the importance of analyzing the forces acting on the system to find the correct answer. Understanding the equilibrium of forces is crucial for solving this problem accurately.

Hie guys,
Two cords can each support a maximum load of 100 N,we need to find the maximum weight of crate that can be hoisted at contant velocity. My question is which cord am i suppose to consider as 100N?

both :confused:
 
No we cant. Gotta choose one of the two cords because one of the two cords should reach the maximum force 1st.

not true :wink:
 

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
