Question

A winch winds the cable so the window cleaner is pulled with an upward acceleration of $7 ft/s^2$. If the cleaner is $175 lbs$, calculate the tension in the rope at the moment the cleaner is $12$ feet downward from the winch. Assume the cleaner positions their legs so their center of mass is $3.5$ feet from the window. Your solution must include a free-body and kinetic diagram.

Step 1

The mass of the cleaner is given as a weight: $W = 175 \text{ lbs}$. The upward acceleration is $a = 7 \text{ ft/s}^2$. The distance from the winch and the distance of the center of mass from the window are extraneous information for calculating the tension in the Show more…
