A monkey of mass40kgclimbs on a rope which can stand a maximum tension...
Mass of the monkey, m = 40 kg
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s
Maximum tension that the rope can bear, Tmax = 600 N
Acceleration of the monkey, a = 6 m/s2 upward
Using Newtons second law of motion, we can write the equation of motion as:
T mg = ma
T = m(g + a)
= 40 (10 + 6)
= 640 N
Since T > Tmax, the rope will break in this case.
A monkey of mass40kgclimbs on a rope which can stand a maximum tension...
First, we need to find the weight of the monkey, which is given by:
W = m * g
where W is weight, m is mass, and g is acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2).
W = 40 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = 392.4 N
Next, we need to find the force exerted by the monkey on the rope, which is given by:
F = m * a
where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.
F = 40 kg * 6 m/s^2 = 240 N
Since the tension in the rope cannot exceed 600 N, the force exerted by the monkey on the rope must be less than or equal to 600 N. Therefore, the tension in the rope is:
T = F + W = 240 N + 392.4 N = 632.4 N
Since the tension in the rope exceeds its maximum capacity of 600 N, the rope will break and the monkey will fall.
