Two blocks of mass 10kg and 2ktg   respectively are connected by an ideal string passing over a fixed smooth pulley as shown in figure. A monkey of 8kg started climbing the string with constant acceleration 2ms-2 with respect to string at t = 0. Initially the monkey is 2.4m from the pulley. Find the time taken by the monkey to reach the pulley.

Option 1 - <p>1 sec</p>
Option 2 - <p>2 sec</p>
Option 3 - <p>4 sec</p>
Option 4 - <p>8 sec</p>

Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:

Let the acceleration of string = a

For 2 kg 20 – T1 = 2a ………… (i)

For monkey T2 – 80 – T1 = 8 (2 – a)  …. (ii)

For 10 kg T2 – 100 = 10a    ……. (iii)

a = 0 . 8 m / s 2

Acceleration of monkey w.r. to ground

= 2 – 0.8 = 1.2 m/s2

  s = u t + 1 2 a t 2        

2 . 4 = 0 + 1 2 * 1 . 2 * t 2            

t = 2 sec
