A monkey is descending from the branch of a tree with constant acceleration. If the breaking strength is 75% of the weight of the monkey, then find the maximum acceleration with which the monkey can slide down without breaking the branch.

Answer»

The tension in the branch of the tree is

T = mg - ma

But, T = 75% of the weight = 75/100 x mg = 3/4 mg

Hence, 3/4 mg = mg - ma

or, a = g - 3/4 g = g/4 = 9.8/4 = 2.45 ms-2
