by alexkess

Question by Alex Rimmington: Determine- the rates of acceleration and deceleration, max velocity achieved, length of the lift shaft?
A direct drive hoist is initially required to accelerate a load of 1.5 tonne through a vertical distance of 140m in a time of 12 seconds. It then maintains a period of constant velocity for 10.6 seconds before uniform deceleration brings the load to reat at the top of the lift in a time of 15 seconds.
need to find average velocity

Best answer:

Answer by wingstwo
Where v = final velocity, vi = initial velocity, x = distance

Phase 1: Accelerating
x1 = xi + ½(v+vi)·t
140m = 0 + ½(v+0)·12s
v1 = 23 1/3 m/s
also,
v1 = vi + at
23 1/3 m/s = 0 + a1(12)
a1 = 1 17/18 m/s²

Phase 2: Constant velocity
x2 = rate * time
x2 = vt = 23 1/3 m/s²*10.6sec
x2 = 247 1/3 m

Phase 3: Deceleration
v3 = vi + a3·t
0 = 23 1/3 m/s + a3·(15s)
a3= -1 5/9 m/s

x3 = xi + ½(v+vi)·t
x3 = 0 + ½(0+23 1/3 m/s)·15s
x3 = 175m

ANSWERS
1. Max acceleration:
a = 1 17/18 m/s²

2. Max Deceleration:
a= -1 5/9 m/s

3. Max Velocity:
v = 23 1/3 m/s

4. Length of Lift Shaft:
x = 140m + 247 1/3 m + 175m
x = 562 1/3m

5. Average speed = dist/time
= 562 1/3m / (12 + 10.6 + 15) = 14.96 m/s

Question by susie x ♥♥♥: Are there any cardiovascular exercises for the disabled?
My mum has bad arthritis and, although ot in a wheelchair) has great difficulty walking or standing for long. She is trying to lose some weight but needs to exercise. She cant afford to join a gym.
I have tried Googling but can only come up with hoists and other equipment to help with exercising

Best answer:

Answer by Reba
Hello. My mother is an amputee and she is not wheelchair bound, she is about like your mother. I know that she has this exersiser that she peddles with her hands like a bike. She lifts weights.She uses resistance bands. She is on a semi vegetarian diet in which she includes eggs and fish. Mother has slimmed and there is no way she is going to a gym or installing big, expensive hoists in her home. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Question by Russell B: Who invented large reinforced sand bags?
It seems common place now to have sand/gravel delivered in re-inforced frabric bags lifted off by a hoist from a lorry, delivering loose sand/gravel now seems unhurd of.

Who invented the use of these bags and when they must of made themselves millions.

Just interested!

by mdverde

Question by Sue R: Where can I find somewhere that offers holidays for the disabled at discount rates?
Does anyone know of any holiday sites/venues that offer discounted rates for disabled people? Of the ones that have been recommended to us in the past, because they are specially adapted for disabled people, it has greatly inflated the price. Hubby is a paraplegic, and having a hoist to get into/out of bed would be a massive help. We haven’t had a holiday for 8 years, and funds are not great, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated
