An engineering student is deciding on a vertical spring to employ as a safety feature in the elevator's base. There are two sets of springs; in order to choose which spring to utilize, the engineer sets the first spring and enables the elevator to fall from the ninth floor. He fastens the second spring and allows the elevator to fall from the fifth floor once again. The engineer chooses to use the first spring. However, this is not the best experiment to use. Now, create an experiment by applying physics concepts that will help the engineering students in making a more educated conclusion on which elevator spring would lessen the impact of falling.

If the hands are together so that the cables are parallel and if each cable lies essentially in a vertical plane, determine the magnitude of the force P which each hand must exert on its cable in order to maintain an equilibrium position shown. Note: The mass of the person is 70 kg, the ramp angle theta is 15 degrees, and the angle beta is 18 degrees. Answer: Next page
An ideal spring, with a pointer attached to its end, hangs next to a scale. With a 100 N weight attached, the pointer indicates "40" on the scale as shown. Using a 200N weight instead results in "60" on the scale. Using an unknown weight X results in "30" on the scale. The weight X is: Hint: Draw the force - Displacement diagram. 100 N O 1.20 N O 2.30 N O 3.40 N O 4.50 N O 5.70 N
Question 1 A 125 kg electric motor and a 505 kg reciprocating compressor are mounted on a common support. The motor runs at 2402 revolutions/minute (rpm) and by a belt drives the compressor at 3600 rpm. It is found that the vertical force fed to the support is excessive. Choose four equal springs to provide a force transmissibility not exceeding 4%.
