a) A motorized capstan is used to haul a rope, in order to secure a ship in its mooring berth. The rope is wrapped three times around the capstan and the rope's velocity is 15 m/min. The operator exerts a constant pull of 70 N on the free end. The coefficient of friction between the rope and capstan is 0.3. You may neglect centrifugal effects. i. Calculate the magnitude of the tension in the rope between the ship and the capstan. ii. Calculate the power supplied by the capstan. [4] [4]
