Q.3 In the figure, the man and the platform together weigh 950 N. The pulley can be
treated as frictionless. Determine how hard the man has to pull on the rope to lift
himself upward above the ground with constant velocity. If the weight of man
is 550 N, what is normal reaction between them.
[Ans.F = 950 N, N= 1500 N]
[Sol. Mass of man = M1
Mass of platform = M2 Total weight = (M1 + M2)g

(Platform + Man) are moving together upwards with constant speed then net force on every body is zero
(Fy)on M1 = 0, (Fy)on M2 = 0
N = M1g + T ...(1)
2T = N + M2g ...(2)
2T = M1g + T + M2g, T = (M1 + M2)g
T = (M1 + M2)g = 950 N if M1g = 550 from (1)
N = 550 + 950 = 1500 N ]
