A painter is applying force himself to raise him and the box with an acceleration of `5(m)/(s^2)` by a massless rope and pulley arrangement as shown in figure. Mass of painter is 100 kg and that of box is 50 kg. If `g=10(m)/(s^2)`, then:A. tension in the rope is 1125 NB. tension in the rope is 2250 NC. force of contact between the painter and the floor is 375 ND. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C
For painter :
`R = T - mg = ma`
`R + T = m(g+a)` ….(1)
For the system :
`2T -(m _M) g = (m+M)a`
`2T = (m+M) (g+a)`…(2)
where , `m = 100 kg`
`M = 50 kg`
`a = 5 m//sec_(2)`
`:. T = (150 xx 15)/(2) = 1125 N`
and , `R = 375 N`.
