A person or monkey climbs a rope (possibly over a pulley) with given acceleration, and the question asks for the maximum safe acceleration or whether the rope breaks given its tension limit.
One end of a massless rope, which passes over a massless and frictionless pulley $P$ is tied to a hook $C$ while the other end is free. Maximum tension that the rope can bear is 360 N. With what value of maximum safe acceleration (in $\mathrm{ms}^{-2}$) can a man of 60 kg climb on the rope? (1) 16 (2) 6 (3) 4 (4) 8
