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 |
