Homework Statement
In the figure: A balloon is attached to a ladder.
The ladder stands vertical on the ground.
The height of the ladder is 6m and there's a monkey at the base of the ladder
Q) The mass of the balloon is 50kg and mass of the monkey is 25kg.
The monkey starts to climb upwards with a constant speed of 0.5m/s
1)What is the velocity of the balloon relative to Earth ?
2)What is the velocity of the monkey relative to Earth ?
3)What is the velocity of the monkey relative to the balloon?
4)Find the timetaken to reach the top of the ladder
5)What's the displacement of the monkey relative to the earth?
6)What's the displacement of the balloon relative to the earth?
7)What's the displacement of the balloon relative to the balloon?
8)what's the increase in PE?
9)What's the total work done by the monkey?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
1) [tex]\uparrow[/tex]V (m,b) = velocity of monkey relative to balloon = 0.5
V(b,e) = v1 down
V(m,e) = v
V(m,e) = V(m,b) + V(b,e)
V(m,e) = 0.5 - v1 = vel' of monkey relative to earth.
But how do I find the magnitude of V(m,e) ?
I think I can manage to do the other parts of the question,if only I knew how to solve for V(m,e) . :(
Thanks in advance .
