9. An elevator on a construction site is being operated at rated capacity of 6 tons, and is supported by two standard steel cables, each having a cross-section area of 1.25-in.2 and an effective modulus of elasticity of 12 * 106 psi. As the elevator is descending at a constant 500 ft/min, an accident causes the top of the cable, 200 ft above the elevator, to stop suddenly. (a) Calculate the Impact Factor. (b) Estimate the maximum elongation and maximum tensile stress developed in cable. (c) Estimate the maximum elongation and maximum tensile stress developed in cable if the cable length was 100 ft. (d) Comment on the effect of changing cable length on maximum tensile stress developed in the cable.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
