Task id16657

On a rope thrown over a stationary block there is a monkey with a mass of hectares (Fig. 3.4). The second end of the rope is attached to a mass M, which lies on a horizontal plate. Neglecting friction, find the accelerations of both bodies (relative to the plate) and the tension of the rope in three cases: 1) the monkey is motionless relative to the rope; 2) the monkey moves relative to the rope with acceleration b upward; 3) the monkey moves relative to the rope with acceleration b downwards.
