Question

A window washer pulls herself upward using the bucket-pulley apparatus shown in the figure below. The mass of the person plus the bucket is 70 kg. If she increases this force by 8%, what will her acceleration be? Her Force is 343

Answer 1

Given that her force is 343, If she increases this force by 8%, her acceleration will be 5.29 m/s². Below is the solution:

 343 (1.08) = 370.44 = ma, 

a = 370.44 /70 = 5.29 m/s²

I hope my answer helps.
