A 10 kg monkey climbs up a massless rope that runs over a frictionless tree limb and back down to a 15 kg package on the ground (Fig. 5-56). (a) What is the magnitude of the least acceleration the monkey must have if it is to lift the package off the ground? If, after the package has been lifted, the monkey stops its climb and holds on to the rope, what are the (b) magnitude and (c) direction of the monkey's acceleratiohn and (d) the tension in the rope ?

Explanation

(a) `4.9" m"//"s"^(2),` (b) `2.0" m"//"s"^(2),` ( c ) up, (d) 120 N
