A man is watching a boat speeding away from the top of a tower. The boat makes an angle of depression of 60^(@) with the man's eye when at a distance of 200 m from the tower . After 10 seconds, the angle of depression becomes 45^(@) . What is the approximate speed of the boat ( in km/hr) , assuming that it is sailing in still water ? (sqrt(3) = 1.732)

A light rope fixed at one end of a wooden clamp on the ground passes over a tree branch and hangs on the other side. It makes an angle of 30^0 with the ground. A man weighing (60 kg) wants to climb up the rope. The wooden clamp can come out of the ground if an upward force greater than 360 N is applied it. Find the maximum acceleration in the upward direction with which the man can climb safely. Neglect friction at the tree branch. Take g=10 m/s^2
