Homework Statement
In order to raise a mass 'm' a man ties it to a rope and passes the rope over a friction less pulley. He climbs the rope with an acceleration 3g/2 relative to the rope. If the mass of the man is m/2 and the mass of the rope is negligible, the tension in the rope is
a) 3mg/2
b) 5mg/2
c)7mg/6
d) 9mg/7
Homework Equations
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
So basically we have a friction less pulley, and over which passes a rope. One end has been connected to the mass 'm' which, on drawing the free body diagram will show two forces, mg and the tension. While the other end, where the man is climbing the rope is getting very messy to approach with :/
