Question:medium
When a person of mass \( m \) climbs up or down a rope with uniform speed \( v \), the tension in the rope is ( \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity)
When a person of mass \( m \) climbs up or down a rope with uniform speed \( v \), the tension in the rope is ( \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity)
Show Hint
If velocity is constant, net force is zero.

- \( mg \)
- \( m(g+v) \)
- \( m(g-v) \)
- \( mgv \)
- \( m\left(\frac{g}{v}\right) \)
Show Solution
The Correct Option is A

- A monkey of mass 50 kg climbs on a rope which can withstand the tension \( T = 350 \, \text{N} \). If the monkey initially climbs down with an acceleration of \( 4 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) and then climbs up with an acceleration of \( 5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \), choose the correct option (\( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)):
