Lifting a boulder with constant acceleration


Assignment:

A 730-kg boulder is raised from a quarry 123 m deep by a long uniform chain having a mass of 560 kg. This chain is of uniform strength, but at any point it can support a maximum tension no greater than 3.00 times its weight without breaking.
