Practicing Success
A monkey of mass 20 kg is holding a vertical rope, which breaks under the weight of mass 25 kg. The maximum acceleration with which the monkey can climb up the rope is |
2.5 m/$s^2$ 5 m/$s^2$ 7.5 m/$s^2$ 10 m/$s^2$ |
2.5 m/$s^2$ |
weight of monkey (mg) = 20 g Maximum weight that rope can carry (T) = 25 g Let maximum acceleration with which the monkey can climb up the rope is a. If T is maximum tension in the string then T - mg = ma ⇒25 g - 20 g = 20a ⇒ a = 2.5 m/$s^2$ |
