A man wants to climb to the top of a vertical pole height `11 m.` He climbs `5 m` in `2 s` and then slips `3 m` in `2s`. This process repeats. Plot `x-t` graph of the motion of the man. Find the time taken by the man to reach the top of the pole and total distance covered by man.

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the man's climbing pattern, calculate the time taken to reach the top of the pole, and determine the total distance covered. ### Step 1: Understand the Climbing Pattern The man climbs 5 meters in 2 seconds and then slips back 3 meters in the next 2 seconds. This creates a cycle: - **Climb up:** 5 meters in 2 seconds - **Slip down:** 3 meters in 2 seconds - **Net gain per cycle:** 5 m - 3 m = 2 m - **Total time for one cycle:** 2 s (climb) + 2 s (slip) = 4 seconds ...
