1 A crane is used to lift a load, using a single vertical cable which is attached to the load. The load accelerates uniformly from rest. When it has risen 0.9 metres, its speed is \(0.6 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
    1. Show that the acceleration of the load is \(0.2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
    2. Find the time taken for the load to rise 0.9 metres.
  1. Given that the mass of the load is 800 kg , find the tension in the cable while the load is accelerating.
