Suppose the monkey acceleration upward with acceleration 'a' & the block, acceleration downward with acceleration a1. Let Force exerted by monkey is equal to T
From the free body diagram of monkeyTmgma=0
T=mg+ma.Again from the FBD of the block
T=ma11mg=0
T=mg+ma+ma1mg=0 [From (I)]
ma=ma1a=a1
Acceleration a downward i.e. a upward.
The block & the monkey move in the same direction with equal acceleratio.If initially they are rest (no force is exertied by monkey) no motion of monkey of block occurs as they have same weight (same mass). Their separation will not changed as time passes.

A monkey is climbing on a rope that goes over a smooth light pulley and supports a block of equal mass at thr other end Figure. Shoe that whatever force the monkey exerts on the rope, the monkey and the block move in the same direction with equal acceleration. If initially both were at rest, their separation will not change as time passes.

Q3

A monkey hangs on a rope. The rope goes up over a pulley, and on the other end is an equal weight of block filled with bananas. Now the monkey starts climbing up the rope. What can be the possible cases as observed by a boy on the ground?

A monkey is at rest on a weightless rope which goes over a pulley and is tied to a bunch of bananas at the other end. The weight of the bunch of bananas is exactly the same as that of the monkey. The pulley is frictionless and weightless. The monkey starts to climb up the rope to reach the bananas. As he climbs, the distance between him and the bananas will :
