$A$ block $Q$ of mass $M$ is placed on a horizontal frictionless surface $AB$ and a body $P$ of mass $m$ is released on its frictionless slope. As $P$ slides by a length $L$ on this slope of inclination $\theta$,the block $Q$ would slide by a distance:

  • A
    $\frac{m}{M} L \cos \theta$
  • B
    $\frac{m}{(M+m)} L$
  • C
    $\frac{(M+m)}{mL \cos \theta}$
  • D
    $\frac{m L \cos \theta}{(m+M)}$

$A$ 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 : $g = 32 \, ft/s^2$)
