A man slides down a light rope whose breaking strength is `eta` times his weight (`etalt1`) . What should be his minimum acceleration so that the rope just breaks?

A

`etag`

B

`g(1-eta)`

C

`(g)/(1+eta)`

D

`(g)/(2+eta)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B


`mg-T=marArrT=m(g-a)`
`T_(max)=etamg`
`m(g-a)lt=etamg`
`(g-a)lt=etag`
`(1-eta)glt=a`
`agt=(1-eta)g`
`a_(min)=(1-eta)g`
