Mass of the monkey = 40 kg

Maximum tension of the rope Tmax = 600 N

(a) When the monkey climbs up with an acceleration of 6m / s2

Tension in the rope, T – mg = ma

T = m (g+a) = 40 (10+6)= 640 N

Since T > Tmax, the rope will break

 

(b) When the monkey climbs down with an acceleration of 4m/s2

Tension in t
