A man with mass 85 kg stands on a platform with mass 25 kg. He pulls on the free end of a rope that runs over a pulley on the ceiling and has its other end fastened to the platform. The mass of the rope and the mass of the pulley can be neglected, and the pulley is frictionless. With what force does he have to pull so that he and the platform have an upward acceleration of `2.2m/s^(2)`. (Take `g= 10m/s^(2)`)
