Answer:
a. Vc = 5.06 m/s
b. Vp = 22.18 m/s
Explanation:
The acceleration of the pulley-mass system is as follows:
a = [tex]\frac{mg}{m + M}[/tex]
Solving for acceleration, we get:
a = [tex]\frac{6.17 *9.8}{6.17 + 55.6}[/tex]
a = 0.97
So, for the part a:
Calculate the velocity of the crewman by using the following equation:
Vc = [tex]\sqrt{Vi^{2} + 2ay}[/tex]
Substituting the values into the equation, we get:
Vc = [tex]\sqrt{1.50^{2} + 2*0.97*13.2}[/tex]
Vc = 5.06 m/s
Now, for part b:
Calculate the final velocity of the pulley by using the following expression:
Vp = [tex]\sqrt{Vi^{2} +2gy }[/tex]
Just plugging in the values.
Vp = [tex]\sqrt{5.06^{2} +2*9.8*23.8 }[/tex]
Vp = 22.18 m/s
