3.57. A winch is driven by an electric mo-
tor with a separate excitation and fed from
a battery of emf 6 = 300 V. The rope and
the hook of the winch rise at a velocity
vl = 4 m/s without a load and at a velocity
v 2 = 1. m/s with a load of mass m = 10 kg.

Determine the velocity v' of the load and
its mass m' for which the winch has the
maximum power, neglecting the mass of the
rope and the hook.
3.58. A perfect diode is connected to an a.c.
circuit (Fig. 111).
Determine the limits within which the
voltage between the anode and the cathode
varies.
3.59. A capacitor of unknown capacitance,
a coil of inductance L, and a resistor of re-
R
Fig. 112
sistance R are connected to a source of a.c.
voltage e Wo cos wt (Fig. 112). The cur-
rent in the circuit is I = (e (^0) 1R) cos wt.
