A monkey is a reston a weightless rope which goes over a pulley and is tied to a bunch of bananas at the other end. The weight of the bunch of bananas isexactly the same as that of the monkey. The pulley is frictionless and weightless. The monkey starts to climb up the rope to reach the bananas. As he climbs, the distance between him and the bananas will

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 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?

As shown in figure a monkey of 20g mass is holding a light rope that passes over a frictionless pulley. A bunch of bananas of the same mass is tied to the other end of rope. Inorder to get access to the bunch the monkey starts climbing the rope. The distance between the monkey and the bananas is

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?

A 12kg monkey climbs a light rope.The rope passes over a pulley and is attached to a 16kg bunch of bananas resting on floor. 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 ? (Take g=10m//s^(2) )

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 monkey a mass 15 kg is climbing on a rope with one end fixed to the ceiling. If it whishes to go up with an acceleration of 1 m/s^2 , how much force should it apply to the rope? If the rope is 5 m long and the monkey starts from rest, how much time will it take to reach the ceiling?

One end of a massless rope, which passes over a massless and frictionless pulley P is tied to fixed hook C, while the other end is free. Maximum tension that the rope can bear is 960 N. With what value of max. safe acceleration (m//s^(2)) can a man of 60 kg climb on the rope?
