Question
One end of a light rope is tied directly to the calling. A man of mass M initially at rest ground starts climbing the rope hand over hand up to a height l.From the time he starts at rest on the ground to the time he is hanging at rest at a height l, how much work much work was on the man by the rope
Options
A.0
