With what minimum acceleration can a fireman slide down a rope whose breaking strength is `(2//3)` of his weight?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of determining the minimum acceleration with which a fireman can slide down a rope without breaking it, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Forces Involved**: - The fireman has a weight \( W = mg \), where \( m \) is the mass of the fireman and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. - The rope has a breaking strength that is \( \frac{2}{3} \) of the fireman's weight, which can be expressed as: \[ ...
