Question
A rope which can withstand a maximum tension of $400 \mathrm{~N}$ hangs from a tree. If a monkey of mass $30 \mathrm{~kg}$ climbs on the rope in which of the following cases-will the rope break? (take $g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-}{ }^{2}$ and neglect the mass of rope $)$(A) When the monkey climbs with constant speed of $5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$(B) When the monkey climbs with constant acceleration of $2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$(C) When the monkey climbs with constant acceleration of $5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$(D) When the monkey climbs with the constant speed of $12 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$
Step 1
The tension in the rope when the monkey is climbing can be given by the equation $T = mg + ma$, where $m$ is the mass of the monkey, $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity, and $a$ is the acceleration of the monkey. Show more…

A monkey of mass $40 \mathrm{~kg}$ climbs on $\mathrm{mm}$ a massless rope which can stand a maximum tension of $500 \mathrm{~N}$. In which of the following cases will the rope break? (Take $\left.g=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\right)$ (a) The monkey climbs up with an acceleration of $5 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}$ (b) The monkey climbs down with an acceleration of $5 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}$.
A monkey of mass $40 \mathrm{~kg}$ climbs on a rope (Fig. $5.20$ ) which can stand a maximum tension of $600 \mathrm{~N}$. In which of the following cases will the rope break: the monkey (a) climbs up with an acceleration of $6 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}$ (b) climbs down with an acceleration of $4 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}$ (c) climbs up with a uniform speed of $5 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$ (d) falls down the rope nearly freely under gravity? (Ignore the mass of the rope).
A monkey of mass 4 kg climbs on a rope which can stand a maximum tension 600 N. In which of the following cases will the rope break? The monkey (a) climbs up with an acceleration of 6ms?2 (b) climbs down with an acceleration of 4ms?2 (c) climbs up with a uniform seed of 5 ms (d) falls down the rope freely under gravity. Take g=10ms?2 and ignore the mass of the rope.
