3. A motor is used to drive a hoist. Motor characteristics are given by


Quadrants I and II: T = 200 — 0.2N, N-m where N.is the speed in rpm.
Quadrants III and IV: T = – 200 – 0.2N, N-m
When hoist is loaded, the net load torque Tl = 100, N-m and when it is unloaded, net load torque Tl
= – 80, N-m. Obtain the equilibrium speeds for operation in all the four quadrants.
