A monkey of mass 40 kg climbs on a rope (Fig 5.20 ) which can stand a maximum tension of 600 N. In which of the following cases will the rope break : the monkey
climbs up with an acceleraiton of `6 ms^(-2)`
(b) climbs down with an acceleration of `4 ms^(-2)`
( c) climbs up with a uniform speed of `5 ms^(-2)`
(d) falls down the rope nearly freely under gravity ?
( Ignore the mass of the rope )

Explanation

(a) `T-40g=240 rArr T=632N`
(b) `392-T=160 rArr=232N`
(c) T=392N
The rope will break in case (a) as `Tg600N`.
