    A monkey is descending 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

    A) g  

    B) \[\frac{3g}{4}\]

    C) \[\frac{g}{4}\]

    D) \[\frac{g}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [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 \[\therefore ma=mg-\left( \frac{75}{100} \right)mg=\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)mg\text{ or }a=\frac{g}{4.}\]
