Question: A 1 3 . 0 kg monkey climbs up a 1 1 6 N uniform ladder of length ( L ) , as

A 13.0 kg monkey climbs up a 116 N uniform ladder of length \( L \), as shown in Figure P12.41. The upper and lower ends of the ladder rest on frictionless surfaces. The lower end is fastened to the wall by a horizontal rope.
(a) Find the tension in the rope when the monkey is one third of the way up the ladder.
N
(b) If the rope can support a maximum tension of 99 N , find the maximum distance \( d \) that the monkey can climb up (along) the ladder before the rope breaks. Express your answer as a function of \( L \)(e.g.,0.33*L).
