A man of mass m stands on a frame of mass M. He pulls on a light rope, which passes over a pulley. The other end of the rope is attached to the frame. For the system to be in equilibrium, what force must the man exert on the rope?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For system to be in equilibrium
`2T=(M+m)g`
`T=((M+m)g)/(2)`
