A monkey of mass 50kg climbs on a rope which can withstand the tension (T) of 350N. If monkey initially climbs down with an acceleration of 4m/s 2 and then climbs up with an acceleration of 5m/s 2 . Choose the correct option (g = 10m/ s 2 )
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
F.B.D of monkey while moving downward t T
Using Newton's second law
mg - T = ma 1
500-1 = 50x4 
T = 300N
F.B.D of monkey while moving up
Using Newton s second law of motion
T-mg=ma 2
T-500 = 50x5
T=750N
Breaking strength of string = 350 N
String will break while monkey is moving upward
