JEE Main 2022Laws of Motion Question with Solution

JEE Main 2022 (26 Jul Shift 1)

Question

A monkey of mass 50 kg climbs on a rope which can withstand the tension T of 350 N. If monkey initially climbs down with an acceleration of 4 m s-2 and then climbs up with an acceleration of 5 m s-2. Choose the correct option g=10 m s-2

Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Correct answer
CRope will break while climbing upward

Step-by-step explanation

Let a1 be the acceleration of monkey while moving down.

F.B.D of monkey while moving downward

Using Newton's second law of motion,

mg-T=ma1

  500-T=50×4T=300 N

Let a2 be the acceleration of monkey while moving up.

F.B.D of monkey while moving up

Using Newton's second law of motion

T-mg=ma2

  T-500=50×5

T=750 N

Breaking strength of rope =750-300=350 N

  Rope will break while monkey is moving upward.
