your net weight on the seat is your weight less your upward pull
b) 612N-348 N= you do it.
a. Now, on the acceleration, the rope is being pulled by 348, with a net downward force of 612-348, or net force
netforce clockwise=348-(614-348)=696-614
= 82N
netforce=mass*a
82=612/9.8 * a solve for a
A cat is stuck in a tree. You are designated with the job to get it out, yet you do not want to climb the tree, because you may get stuck as well. Instead you set up a pulley system. A rope (consider it massless) runs from the seat you sit on over an ideal pulley and then to your hand. You pull on the loose end of the rope with a force of 348 N. You weigh 612 N and the seat you sit on weighs 16.0 N. (a) What is your acceleration? (b) What force does the seat exert on you?
