==== Assignment 2: cassettes ====

Students are given a (pre-mounted) cassette and a winch. In the first phase they are asked to rig it and move the cassette up and down with the drum.

In the second phase, they can use counterweights. They are asked to make the movement without applying any force.

Ideally, they find the solutions themselves, but if they get stuck they can fall back on schematics.

The assignment can be extended with multiple cassettes, to be moved simultaneously.
