Problem 1 (20 pts)

The winch shown includes a 3.7 KW motor with 60 mm diameter
motor pulley and a 300 mm diameter drum pulley mounted to a
180 mm cable drum. It is observed that the lifted acceleration of
the cable supported load is:
a = s / 3 m/s/s where s is in
meters. Starting from rest at s = 0, determine (a) the angular
velocity of the motor when the load has risen s = 10 m and (b)
