A750.0-kg boulder is raised from a quarry 125 m deep by a long uniform chain having a mass of 575 kg. this chain is of uniform strength, but at any point it can support a maximum tension no greater than 2.50 times its weight without breaking. (a) what is the maximum acceleration the boulder can have and still get out of the quarry, and (b) how long does it tak

Part a)

Part b)

Explanation:

Part a)

Maximum tension that is obtained by the rope is 2.5 times the weight of the rope

So here we know that

mass of the boulder = 750 kg

mass of the chain = 575 kg

now total mass of the boulder and chain = 750 kg + 575 kg

Now we have maximum tension in the rope is given as

now from Newton's 2nd law we have

Part b)

Time taken by the boulder to raise by 125 m depth

we can use kinematics and we will assume here that it will start from rest and accelerate at above maximum value that we found in part a)

so by kinematics

hèllo, sorry i really need some more points so if you need this qustion answered than retype it

it breaks and dirupture other materials and other sencews from the bottom
