A light string fixed at one end to a wooden clamp on a ground passes over a fixed pulley and hangs at the other side. It makes an angle 30 with the ground. A boy weighting 60kg climbs up the rope. The wooden clamp can tolerate up to vertical force 360 N. Find the maximum acceleration in the upward direction with which the boy can climb safely. The friction of pulley and wooden clamp may be ignored. g=10m/s2

Let T be the tension in rope

            From diagram we know

T-mg=ma1

Tsinθmax=360

Tsin30max=360

Tmax=360×2=720N2

Substitute the value of T in equation 1 

We get 720mg=ma

a=72060060=2m/s2
