even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)

They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?

i can also imagine the cat going there cause it is snug and warm

Why? Couldn't ChromeOS and Android become the equivalents to Apple's Mac OS and iOS?

ChromeOS feels structurally cleaner, more futuristic. I mean, it's so... thin!
- Toph Tucker
Because ChromeOS has no purpose that isn't better served by Android (perhaps with a few mods to support a non-touch display).

also predicted: bear sh!ts in woods. even eric schmidt has said publicly that chromeOS was a side-bet against its own android. as for Mac OS and iOS, eventually we'll see a unified iOS on those, too.

Yeah, I was thinking, "is this too obvious to even state?", but then I see people taking ChromeOS seriously, and Google is even shipping devices for some reason.
- Paul Buchheit
If Google were to take the "activity model" of Android and add it to Chrome as a way for different apps to interact/share data than from a developer perpective, there is not much value in using a proprietary Android dev model versus using HTML5++ (unless may be for games). So from a developer/programming model, Google would be better off killing Android - Chrome/ChromeOS is a better WebOS.
- Edwin Khodabakchian
ChromeOS = 1 Laptop Per Child / dumb terminals. If that works, then yes. If it sucks, then your OP is correct
- Johnny
That or like the dream of a lot of Apple users (iOS sitting on OSX so you can select either), ChromeOS could be the browser-based corporate solution for road warriors on the Android system.
- Johnny
If it has no purpose, then why does it have competition? It's true competition is from MeeGo/ JoliCloud/ Win-7 Basic/ Ubuntu. Its undoing could be Intel Atom vs. Dual Core ARM Cortex A9. So currently the purpose is to be the the Android equivalent for x86 machines.

I think that a lot of people are seeing the browser as the one and only future app platform, and given that, I think that Google is hoping the need for native apps will simply go away.

Whether they are merged or not, I am happy, as a consumer, that Google has taken the pains to put out two champion products - Android rocks (on the phone) and Chrome the browser rocks (can't talk about the OS since I don't have access to it yet). From the UX perspective, if they could make the COS work on tablets, it would be a bigger win than Android running on tablets.

Having used the closest (refined) product out there to it, Jolicloud, I have to say it's (VERY) fast, highly addictive...and actually a time saver for me. Agree the 'merger' is likely but Linux still has a huge base of developers that don't cost Google a dime. Think a better question (any predictions?) might be ... What's going to happen to Firefox? (and the huge Google infusion that goes along with it).

Chrome OS greatest achievement is bringing full web browser to ARM Processors, so we can have $99 ARM Powered laptops soon. Sure it would probably be possible to add Android functionality to Chrome OS (an extra icon in the task bar) and vice-versa add a Chrome browser icon in Android as well. The main thing is the web browser needs to be optimized for embedded Linux devices that are ARM Powered.
- Charbax
mind sharing a prediction as to when they kill friendfeed?
- анштопабл
I think it'll kickstart HTML5 if anything. I don't think it'll outright die though. There will be a use for secure terminals and kiosks. For normal consumers, a cheaper netbook that only browses the web without really worrying about the OS is appealing.
- Rodfather
If I'm hearing Meryn correctly, I like the idea that Chrome could push things away from app-happy land and back into browser land. I think apps are kind of a novelty that needs to eventually go away or, at least, be reined in. I hate apps that don't do anything different than what a browser can do.

Laura, I think ChromeOS apps will push sites to go toward 'app-happy land' in the beginning. The current site will be the standard website where everything will work.

I'm going to say that C is the answer. A seems too easy based on weight and I think that the work will transfer first to the set of pulleys closest to the puller.

- Micah
My gut reaction is C for the same reason Scoble says. I was hoping someone had seen this problem somewhere before :)
- Rahsheen?
I'm guessing "C" - visualizing pulling the rope C has to move before B before A.
- WarLord
It's B or A. C is definitely out, because it doesn't matter what's first, but what has less downward force, you're just drawing the rope taught, so the weight with lowest force will rise first.
- Jimminy IS Everybody

I'm pretty sure it's A. But I haven't been in physics class for a long time.

- Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce

Oh didn't guess yet. Well all those years of college physics say I forget. Normal rule of thumb is a pulley divides work by half. Based on that rule I'd go B. but my brain isn't turned on today

The rope is inelastic. So all the weights go up at the same time.

I think Bruce is right.

My problem is that I assumed that this wasn't a straightforward question and so looked for the answer that wasn't straightforward.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
C
- Outsanity
I can analyze it as long as it's static, but when things start moving I have to get an ME.
- Kevin L
Assuming the numbers are weights, then it's A. The mechanical advantage on each weight is 2-fold, but identical across each of them. So the lightest weight lifts first, regardless of where it is. Only when it reaches the top and is blocked from moving will any of the other weights lift, because the man cannot put more than 10 pounds of tension on the line as long as the 20 pound weight...
more...
- Otto
I'd go with C.
- jbrotherlove
Close, Sean. Remember: in stasis, the tension is equal at every point along the rope.
- Kevin L
I think Bruce has it.
- Chieze Okoye
OK, here's a follow-up question. Assume the man pulls A and B all the way to the top. Finally, C lifts off the ground. How many pounds of force is he exerting on the rope?
- Bruce Lewis
Total download force = 60+ 40 + 20 = 120. 3 free axles means at equilibrium, the force in each segment is 120/(3*2) = 20. So for each weight, the total upward force is 2 * 20 = 40... so weight A is the only one that will move up.
- Ken Morley
For Bruce's question the answer is 60/2 = 30 :o)
- Ken Morley
If we guess backwards, which one moves firstly? My answer is C.
- _©onta©t_
My mistake. Actually, I'd assumed all the weights were unsupported, so the total downward force doesn't change when A and B reach the top. The force should still be 120 / 6 = 20, not 30. If the weights are all sitting on the ground, then the forces in the rope will change as each weight leaves the ground, but A will still rise first....but I could be wrong :o) <I am... see below>
- Ken Morley
3 free pulleys x 2. Only the movable pulleys multiple the forces.
- Ken Morley
Ken, each weight is independent, so the factor of the pulley's benefit is 1/2, the third pulley in the sets are only changing the vector. And the benefit is non cumulative, since it's 1/2 for each weight.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
But the system is in equilibrium, so all the forces must be equal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Ken Morley
Ken, the issue with that, is it's an individual weight, distributed, not independent weights. So each weight's force measure, is calculated independently.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
3 free pulleys, 120 total pounds, force = 120/3/2. What am I missing?
- Ken Morley
3 free pulleys? Labeled with a number right to left, which ones are free?
- Jimminy IS Everybody
The ones on the weights are the only ones that can move, and so are the only ones that multiply the force.
- Ken Morley
But they don't multiply force, they only split the amount of effort required to lift that wait, it doesn't transfer over the entire system.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
"The addition of a fixed pulley to the single pulley system can yield an increase of advantage..." yes, but in that case the end is attached back to the weight, not fixed.
- Ken Morley
Okay my brain hurts... I'm going to bed and will reconsider in the morning ;o)
- Ken Morley
Ken, if we were talking about one 120 weight attached in the configuration, you would be correct. Independent weights don't work the same way.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
Yes, W / 2 (free pulleys) / 2 = W/4 :o)
- Ken Morley
If they are attached to the same weight.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
I'm going to go buy some pulleys tomorrow ;o)
- Ken Morley
g'nite :o)
- Ken Morley
Ken, here is an explanation, somewhat, http://ff.im/q9wKF, of why the diagrams on wikipedia are wrong, in application to this system. Each of these weights are independent and and thus examples of diagram 1, you can see this if you remove the 7 right most pulleys from the diagram, and then only the 3 right most after that. You end up with a system that only contains the 20[unit] weight, and a second that contains only the 20 and 40[unit] weights.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
Computer programmers, you should be able to come up with the answer to my followup question, and with an explanation that's easily persuasive to everyone. Black-box abstraction is the key to simplifying this system.
- Bruce Lewis
For non-programmers: Black-box abstraction is enclosing a system in a mental black box, so that you only think about what's going in and/or out of the box, not what's inside. Don't be thrown off by the fancy word "abstraction". It's a way to think less, not think more. Maybe you can get the answer before any programmers do.
- Bruce Lewis
Jimminy, the key point is that In order for the starting position to be stable, the weights must all be supported by a surface. As the tension in the system is increased and reaches 10 lbs (I'm assuming the units are lbs), the first weight (A) will rise until it reaches the top (the other two pulleys are acting as fixed pulleys at this point). When the tension reaches 20 lbs the 'B' weight will rise. The 'C' weight will not move until the tension is increased to 30 lbs.
- Ken Morley
Just came across this from HN, Ken, the assumption is that the system is stable, due to the fact that the weights are all at the same distance from the pulley arm, also they are apparently at the same level as the mans feet. I also, it's cumulative, the mechanical advantage is only a factor of 2, so it's, 20/2, 10 lbs. to raise A, to raise A and be it's, (20+40)/2, 30 lbs, and to raise A, B, and C you would need 120/2, 60 lbs. Which may have been what you were saying, but I'm not quite sure.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
Jimminy says 60 lbs, Ken says 30. If you're the one who's right, see if you can use black-box abstraction (see my comment above) to persuade the other.
- Bruce Lewis
Jimminy, the system can not be stable if the weights are not supported. Imagine if the weights are all sitting on a platform that is gradually lowered. What would happen? In your example above you are correct that 10 lbs of force is required to raise weight A, but when it reaches the top and runs out of rope, it is no longer acting as a pulley. It is as though it were just attached at...

I'll guess A as well before I look at the 83 comments here and see what the answer is.
- Dan owns Comicsforge.com
Ken, considering, that the man is also standing on the same surface as the weights, nothing would change. Also, you still have to support weight A, even once it reaches the top, it is still a downward force, on the line, so you have to support it until you reach 20 lbs, then weight... Woah. It's 40 lb's required, to get all 3 off the ground. You have two parameters that have to be met,...

I'd like you guys to hover over the picture to see what company is asking this question on an employment application. I'm pretty sure they wanted a common sense answer that an average person would know, but it's obviously just not that simple of a question :)
- Rahsheen?
I think Otto has pretty-much nailed it (see comments): http://ourdoings.com/ourdoin...
- Ken Morley
I just read Otto's comment more carefully, and I disagree about A and B making 30 lbs of force to help lift C. A and B act as counterweights to each other, not just to C.
- Bruce Lewis
I suppose the easiest way to visualize what happens is to imagine them all being lifted to the middle. When you let go of all of them at the same time, C will drop down because it's heavier than A, so A will go up.
- Richard
My first guess is A. ***My father is a Mechanical engineer and he says A as well. *****************He says it would take 10lbs of force to lift A 20lbs to lift B and 30lbs to lift C.
