Question

A man is raising himself and the crate on which he stands with an acceleration of 5 m/s2 by a massless rope-and pulley arrangement. Mass of the man is 100 kg and that of the crate is 50 kg. If g = 10 m/s2, the contact force between man and the crate is

 

Moderate
Solution

m1 = 100 kg, m2 = 50 kg, a = 5 m/s2 

T + N -m1g = m1a

T-N - m2g = m2a

Solving these:

T = 1125 N and

N = 375 N
