A monkey of mass climbs on a rope which can withstand the tension (T) of . If monkey initially climbs down with an acceleration of and then climbs up with an acceleration of . Choose the correct option .
- Awhile climbing upward
- Bwhile going downward
- CRope will break while climbing upward
- DRope will break while going downward

Correct answer: C
-
Given data
- Mass of monkey:
- Maximum tension rope can withstand:
- Acceleration while moving downward:
- Acceleration while moving upward:
- Acceleration due to gravity:
-
Tension while climbing downward
When the monkey accelerates downward with acceleration , forces on monkey are:
- Weight downward:
- Tension upward:
Taking downward as positive:
Since , the rope will not break while going downward.
So:
- Option B: while going downward False
- Option D: Rope will break while going downward False
-
Tension while climbing upward
When the monkey accelerates upward with acceleration , taking upward as positive:
Since , the rope will break while climbing upward.
So:
- Option A: while climbing upward False
- Option C: Rope will break while climbing upward True
-
Final answer The correct option is:
-
Comparison with stored answer Stored correct answer: C
My derived answer matches the stored answer.
