To raise a weight which is half as much ...

To raise a weight which is half as much again as his weight a man fastens a rope to it and passes over a smooth pulley, he then climbs up the rope with an acceleration `(6g)/(7)` relative to the rope. Show that the weight rises with acceleration `(8)/(7)`, and find the tension of the rope.
