3.
A lift of mass M kg is being raised by a vertical cable attached to the top of the lift. A
person of mass m kg stands on the floor inside the lift, as shown in Figure 1. The lift
ascends vertically with constant acceleration 1.4 m s–2. The tension in the cable is 2800 N
and the person experiences a constant normal reaction of magnitude 560 N from the floor
of the lift. The cable is modelled as being light and inextensible, the person is modelled
as a particle and air resistance is negligible.

A boy sees a box on the end Q of a plank PQ which overhangs a swimming pool. The
plank has mass 30 kg, is 5 m long and rests in a horizontal position on two bricks.
The bricks are modelled as smooth supports, one acting on the rod at P and one acting on
the rod at R, where PR = 3 m. The support at R is on the edge of the swimming pool, as
shown in Figure 2. The boy has mass 40 kg and the box has mass 2.5 kg. The plank is
modelled as a uniform rod and the boy and the box are modelled as particles.
