If the pulleys shown in the diagram are smooth and massless,and $a_1$ and $a_2$ are the accelerations of the blocks of mass $4 \, kg$ and $8 \, kg$ respectively,then:

  • A
    $a_1 = a_2$
  • B
    $a_1 = 2 a_2$
  • C
    $2 a_1 = a_2$
  • D
    $a_1 = 4 a_2$

$A$ basket and its contents have mass $M$. $A$ monkey of mass $2M$ grabs the other end of the rope and very quickly (almost instantaneously) accelerates by pulling hard on the rope until he is moving with a constant speed of $v_{m/r} = 2 \, ft/s$ measured relative to the rope. The monkey then continues climbing at this constant rate relative to the rope for $3 \, s$. How fast is the basket rising at the end of the $3 \, s$? Neglect the mass of the pulley and the rope. (given : $g = 32 \, ft/s^2$)
