    17. (a) We use F to denote the upward force exerted by the cable on the astronaut. The force of the cable
    is upward and the force of gravity is mg downward. Furthermore, the acceleration of the astronaut
    is g/10 upward. According to Newton’s second law, F − mg = mg/10, so F = 11mg/10. Since the
    force F and the displacement d are in the same direction, the work done by F is
     
    2
    11mgd 11(72 kg) 9.8 m/s (15 m)
    WF = F d = = = 1.164 × 104 J
    10 10
    which (with respect to significant figures) should be quoted as 1.2 × 104 J.
    (b) The force of gravity has magnitude mg and is opposite in direction to the displacement. Thus,
    using Eq. 7-7, the work done by gravity is
     
    2
    Wg = −mgd = −(72 kg) 9.8 m/s (15 m) = −1.058 × 104 J

    which should be quoted as −1.1 × 104 J.


    (c) The total work done is W = 1.164 × 104 J − 1.058 × 104 J = 1.06 × 103 J. Since the astronaut started
    from rest, the work-kinetic energy theorem tells us that this (which we round to 1.1 × 103 J) is her
    final kinetic energy.
    (d) Since K = 12 mv 2 , her final speed is
     
    2K 2(1.06 × 103 J)
    v= = = 5.4 m/s .
    m 72 kg
    35. The total work is the sum of the work done by gravity on the elevator, the work done by gravity on
    the counterweight, and the work done by the motor on the system: WT = We + Wc + Ws . Since the
    elevator moves at constant velocity, its kinetic energy does not change and according to the work-kinetic
    energy theorem the total work done is zero. This means We + Wc + Ws = 0. The elevator moves upward
    through 54 m, so the work done by gravity on it is
    2
    We = −me gd = −(1200 kg)(9.8 m/s )(54 m) = −6.35 × 105 J .

    The counterweight moves downward the same distance, so the work done by gravity on it is
     
    2
    Wc = mc gd = (950 kg) 9.8 m/s (54 m) = 5.03 × 105 J .

    Since WT = 0, the work done by the motor on the system is

    Ws = −We − Wc = 6.35 × 105 J − 5.03 × 105 J = 1.32 × 105 J .

    This work is done in a time interval of ∆t = 3.0 min = 180 s, so the power supplied by the motor to lift
    the elevator is
    Ws 1.32 × 105 J
    P = = = 7.4 × 102 W .
    ∆t 180 s
