Aconcrete pump of 120-cy/hr max. output is used to place 250 cy of concrete. it is supplied by 8 cy transit-mix trucks arriving to the site every 15 mins. barring interruptions how many hours will the operation require, considering 80% efficiency factor.

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.
