A 20 kg monkey has a firm hold on a light rope that passes over a frictionless pulley and is attached to a 20 cm bunch if bananas. The monkey looks upwards , sees the bananas and starts to climb the rope to get them. (a) As the monkey climbs ,do the bananas move up , move down or remain at rest? (b) As the monkey climbs ,does the distance between the lonkey and the banana decrease, increase or remain contact? (c) The monkey releases her hold on the rope .What happens to the distance between the monkey and the bananas while she is falling ? (d) Before reaching the ground , the monkey grabs the rope of stop har fall. What do the bananas do?

A monkey is climbing on a rope that goes over a smooth light pulley and supports a block of equal mass at the other end. Show that whatever force the monkey exerts on the rope, the monkey and the block move in the same direction with

  • A monkey weighing 10 kg climbing up a light rope and frictionless pulley attached to 15 kg mass at other end as in figure. In order to raise the 15 kg mass off the ground the monkey must climb-up

    A
    with constant acceleration g/3.
    B
    with an acceleration greater than g/2.
    C
    with an acceleration greater than g/4.
    D
    It is not possible because weight of monkey is lesser than the block.

    Block A of mass m//2 is connected to one end of light rope which passes over a pulley as shown in fig. A man of mass m climbs the other end of rope with a relative acceleration of g//6 with respect to rope. Find the acceleration of block A and tension in the rope.

    A man sits in a chair that is suspended from arope. The rope passes over a pulley suspended from the ceiling, and the man holds the other end of the rope in his hands.What is the tension in the rope, and what force does the chair exert on the man ?

    A 12 kg monkey climbs a light rope as shown in figure. The rope passes over a pulley and is attached to a 16 kg bunch of bananas. Mass and friction in the pulley are negligible so that the pulley's only effect is to reverse the direction of the rope. What is the maximum acceleration the monkey can have without lifting the bananas?
