Q.
In order to raise a mass of 100kg a man of mass, 60kg fastens a rope to it and passes the rope over a smooth pulley. He climbs the rope with an acceleration 45g relative to the rope. The tension in the rope is near to (take g=10ms−2 )

Solution:
assume block of mass 100kg is moving upward with acceleration a with respect to ground and tension in the rope is T . Then,
for man T−60g=60(45g−a) ....... (1) ( ∵ man is climbing on the rope with acceleration 45g )
for block T−100g=100a ...... (2)
solving equation (1) and (2) T=1218.7N≈1218N
