Q.

The monkey B shown in figure is holding on to the tail of the monkey A which is climbing up a rope. The masses of the monkeys A and B are 5 kg and 2 kg respectively. If A can tolerate a tension of 30 N in its tail, what force should it apply on the rope in order to carry the monkey B with it ? [Take g =10 ms-2].

View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

T = 2g
But given T = 30N ‘A’ is climbing with acc ‘a’
T – 2g = 2a
30 – 20 = 2a, a = 5ms-2
T1 – T – 5g = 5a T1 = T + 5g +5a
T1 = 30 + 50 + 5(5) T1 =105N
