$A$ lift of mass $1600 \text{ kg}$ is supported by a thick iron wire. If the maximum stress which the wire can withstand is $4 \times 10^8 \text{ N/m}^2$ and its radius is $4 \text{ mm}$, then the maximum acceleration the lift can take is . . . . . . $\text{m/s}^2$. (Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$ and $\pi = 3.14$)

$A$ composite heavy rope made of two materials is suspended vertically from a high ceiling. The ratios of different quantities for the upper rope to the lower rope are: length $\frac{L_u}{L_l} = \frac{1}{2}$,cross-sectional area $\frac{A_u}{A_l} = \frac{2}{1}$,and density $\frac{d_u}{d_l} = \frac{2}{3}$. What is the ratio of the maximum stress in the two ropes?
