A stationary light smooth pulley can rotate about a fixed

A stationary light smooth pulley can rotate about a fixed horizontal axis A light rope passes over the pulley One end of the rope suppors a ladder with a man and other end supports counter weight of mass M Mass of the man is m Initially the system is stationary and the centre of mass of the counter weight is at a height h from that of the man as shown in the figure If the man starts to climb up slowly such that his center of mass reaches at the level with that of the counter weight A A Distance moved by counter weight relative to ground is w te ros B Distance moved by counter weight relative to ground is mh M m Mh M m C Distance moved by man relative to ladder is 00 D Distance moved by man relative to ladder is mh 2 M m mh M m M
