A cable elevator leaves from the ground floor and moves vertically. After a very short initial
acceleration it maintains a constant velocity of velevator. When the elevator reaches height h above
the ground, a small piece falls off the elevator. At the time when this piece hits the ground, calculate
the height of the elevator above ground. You can neglect air resistance on the falling
Use values:
L =12m
aB =5.2 m/s^2
vB =8.2 m/s
Calculate the angular acceleration [rad/sec^2] if the ladder. Counterclockwise acceleration is a positive number. Report your answer to three significant figures.
