Question

A 75 kg criminal wants to escape from the 5th story window of the jail, 24 m above the ground. He has a rope, which can only support a tension force of 650 N.

a. What is the maximum acceleration he can slide down without breaking his "rope?"

Answer 1

a = 1.1 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

P = 650 N

m = 75 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

____________

a - ?

Forse:

P = m*(g - a)

650 = 75*(10 - a)

10 - a = 650 /75

Acceleration:

a = 9.8 - 650 / 75 = 9.8 - 8.7 = 1.1 m/c²
