A man of mass M hanging with a light rope which is connected with a balloon of mass m. The system is at rest and equilibrium in air. When man rises a distance h with respect to balloon Find.
A
The distance raised by man
B
The distance descended by balloon 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
Sol. initially Y com = 
since no external force is acting ∴ COM should be at rest.
Δ y CM = 
Let baloon descend by a distance x.
0 = 
Mh = (m + M) x
x = 
(Distance decend by ballon)
h – x = 
(Distance raised by man
