11 A heavy pump casing with a mass m is to be lifted off the ground using a crane. For simplicity, the motion is assumed to be two-dimensional, and the pump casing is represented by a rectangle having side dimensions ab (see figure). A cable of length L1 is attached to the crane (at point P) and the pump casing (at point O). The crane pulls up vertically on the cable with a constant velocity Vp. The center of mass G of the pump casing is assumed to lie in the center of the rectangle. It is located at a distance L2 from point O. The right side of the pump casing is located at a horizontal distance c from the vertical line passing though point P. Find the maximum cable tension during the lift, which includes the part of the lift before the pump casing loses contact with the ground, and after the pump casing loses contact with the ground (lift off). In this stage the pump casing swings back and forth. Evaluate for a specific case where: a = 0.4 m b = 0.6 m c = 0.2 m L1 = 3 m m = 200 kg IG = 9 kg-m2 (rotational inertia of pump casing about G)

A heavy pump casing with a mass m is to be lifted off the ground using a crane. For simplicity, the motion is assumed to be two-dimensional, and the pump casing is represented by a rectangle having side dimensions ab (see figure). A cable of length L1 is attached to the crane (at point P) and the pump casing (at point O). The crane pulls up vertically on the cable with a constant velocity Vp.

The center of mass G of the pump casing is assumed to lie in the center of the rectangle. It is located at a distance L2 from point O. The right side of the pump casing is located at a horizontal distance c from the vertical line passing though point P.

Find the maximum cable tension during the lift, which includes the part of the lift before the pump casing loses contact with the ground, and after the pump casing loses contact with the ground (lift off). In this stage the pump casing swings back and forth.

Evaluate for a specific case where:

a = 0.4 m

b = 0.6 m

c = 0.2 m

L1 = 3 m

m = 200 kg

IG = 9 kg-m2 (rotational inertia of pump casing about G)
