Feb 27, 2012 at 1:03 comment added dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten I suspect that you are finding the answers you wrote in the edit to be really simple (almost trivial), but here's the thing ... that's it. The point of the problem is that sometimes physics is really simple. Give yourself a round of applause and move on.

Feb 26, 2012 at 23:57 comment added dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten BTW---By starting with what looked like a homework question you triggered my "close with extreme prejudice" reflex, but I think that this is a good question focused on conceptual matters.
Feb 26, 2012 at 23:55 comment added dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Consider that the whole toolbox hoisting scenario includes three phases (1) starting the motion, (2) maintaining the motion, and (3) slowing the toolbox to a stop when it reaches the height of the presumed workman, and note that you are only examining phase 2. How might phases 1 and 3 differ in your two cases? Does that resolve your confusion?
