Concept explainers
To transport a series of bundles of shingles A to a roof, a contractor uses a motor-driven lift consisting of a horizontal platform BC which rides on rails attached to the sides of a ladder. The lift starts from rest and initially moves with a constant acceleration a1 as shown. The lift then decelerates at a constant rate a2 and comes to rest at D, near the top of the ladder. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between a bundle of shingles and the horizontal platform is 0.30, determine the largest allowable acceleration a1 and the largest allowable deceleration a2 if the bundle is not to slide on the platform.

- An object of mass m1 slides on a sloped block of mass M2, which in turn slides on a horizontal surface. The slope angle is a constant 3, and both masses are initially at rest. There is no friction between any of the objects, and the masses are subject to the force of gravity -mgêy. Use as co- ordinates the horizontal position x2 of mass m2, and the height y1 of mass m1, as shown in the y4 Y1 M2 x2 diagram to the right. Find the equation of motion of block 2, ä2(t).
