A monkey is climbing on a rope that goes over a smooth light pulley and supports a block of equal mass at the other end in the following figure. Show that whatever force the monkey exerts on the rope, the monkey and the block move in the same direction with equal acceleration. If initially both were at rest, their separation will not change as time passes.
उत्तर
Suppose the monkey accelerates upward with acceleration a and the block accelerates downward with acceleration a1.
Let force exerted by the monkey be F.
From the free-body diagram of the monkey, we get:
F− mg − ma = 0 ...(i)
⇒ F = mg + ma
Again, from the free-body diagram of the block,
F + ma1 − mg = 0
mg + ma + ma1 − mg = 0 [From (i)]
⇒ ma = −ma1
⇒ a = −a1
If acceleration −a1 is in downward direction then the acceleration a1 will be in upward direction.
This implies that the block and the monkey move in the same direction with equal acceleration.
If initially they were at rest (no force is exerted by the monkey), then their separation will not change as time passes because both are moving same direction with equal acceleration.
