To hoist himself into a tree, a 72.0-kg man ties one end of a nylon rope around his waist and throws the other end over a branch of the tree. he then pulls downward on the free end of the rope with a force of 360 n. neglect any friction between the rope and the branch, and determine the man’s upward acceleration. use g =9.80 m/sec2.

man upward acceleration is 0.14m/s^2

Explanation:

given data:

mass of man = 72 kg

downward force = 360 N

The mass of man of weight 72 kg is hang from two sections of rope, one section pf rope ties around man waist and other section is ties in man hands. when he pulls down the rope  with 360 N force then each section of  rope pulls with 360 N

we know that

Weight= mass × gravity= 72kg × 9.8 = 705.6N

Force = mass× acceleration

Force= -705.6 + (2 × 358) = 10.4 N

explanation:

there is no change in the electric potential energy as it is in rest on both conditions.
