Homework Statement
A 710kg boulder is raised from a quarry 191m deep by a long uniform chain having a mass of 595kg. This chain is of uniform strength, but at any point it can support a maximum tension no greater than 2.80 times its weight without breaking.
How do i find the maximum acceleration in order to get it out of the quarry?
Attempted but all wrong... just need to be pointed in the right direction. the 2.8x is confusing. and I am lost to what equations i should use now.
know the Force includ gravity for 710kg is 6958N, and 595kg is 5831N...
