Question 16. The drawing shows Robin Hood (mass = 91.3 kg) about dangerous situation. With one hand, he is gripping the rope that holds up a chandelier (mass = 192.0 kg). When he cuts the rope where it is tied to the floor, the chandelier will fall, and he will be pulled up toward a balcony above. Ignore the friction between the rope and the beams over which it slides, and find (a) the acceleration with which Robin is pulled upward and (b) the tension in the rope while Robin escapes. Ans: 3.48 m/s²; 1213 N

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”
