The 60-lb hoisting block is operated by a motor M. Starting from rest, the supporting cable can be wound up by the motor so that it is wound into the motor with a relative velocity of 3 ft/s in 5 s. If the cable does not slip on the pulleys, determine the average force exerted on the cables during this time. Neglect the mass of each of the pulleys.
