Q. Two objects with masses 5.60kg and 1.40kg hang 0.500m above the floor from the ends of a cord 6.80m long passing over a frictionless pulley. Both objects start from rest. Find the maximum height reached by the 1.40kg object.
Q. A gymnast of mass 64.0 {rm kg} hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume that the rope does not stretch. Use the value 9.81 {rm m/s^2} for the acceleration of gravity.
Calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 1.50 {rm m/s^2}.
