  1. A monkey is decending from the branch of a tree with constant acceleration. If the breaking strength is 75% of the weight of the monkey, the minimum acceleration with which monkey can slide down without breaking the branch is
    1. g
    2. 3g
      4
    3. g
      4
    4. g
      2

Correct Option: C

Let T be the tension in the branch of a tree when monkey is descending with acceleration a. Then mg – T = ma; and T = 75% of weight of monkey

∴ ma = mg -
75
mg =
1
mg
1004

or, a =
g
