Question: A 3 4 2 . A winding drum raises a cage of mass 5 0 0 kg through a height of 1 2 0 m

A 342. A winding drum raises a cage of mass 500 kg through a height of 120 m . The
winding drum has a mass of 250 kg , an effective radius of 0.5 m , and a radius of gyration
of 0.36 m . The mass of the rope is 3k(g)/(m). The cage has at first an acceleration of 1.5(m)/(s^(2))
until a velocity of 9(m)/(s) is reached, after which the velocity is constant until the cage
nears the top, when the final retardation is 6(m)/(s^(2)).
Find: (a) the time taken for the cage to reach the tope (b) the torgue which must be
applied to the drum at starting, and (c) the power
ceases.
