A lift of mass 2000 kg is supported by thick steel ropes. If maximum upward acceleration of the lift be 1.2 m//s^(2) , and the breaking stress for the ropes be 2.8 xx 10^(8) N/ m^(2) , what should be the minimum diameter of the rope?

Two cyclists are in motion towards each other along a slightly inclined hill road. The first cyclist starts with a velocity of 5.4 kg /h and attains a downhill acceleration 0.2 m//s^(2) . The second cyclist is under an uphill retardation of 0.2 m/ s^(2) after starting with a velocity of 18 km/h . If the initial distance between them is 130 m , then when would they meet? What would be their velocities at that instant?
