I've got an Somebody call the Monkey He's got to have an Answer for This


A weightless and perfectly flexible rope is hung over a weightless,
frictionless pulley attached to the roof of a building.
At one end is a weight which exactly counterbalances a monkey at the other end.
If the monkey begins to climb, what will happen to the weight
will it remain stationary, will it rise or will it fall?

this is based on HORRIBLE physics....hehe...but here it goes...I THINK the weight would rise...and here's my justification

the weight weighs the same as the monkey
and the monkey weighs the same as the monkey (because it's the monkey)
so on either end of the rope gravity is exerting it's force at 9.8m/s^2 (squared)...so the force is equal on both ends
when the monkey starts climbing...he has to exert a downard force on his end of the rope which would add X amount of force on his end (enough force to break the tug of gravity...so at least more than 9.8m/s^2) of the rope which would then impart more force on the other end of the rope than gravity is imparting on the weight

Yes Your Up

Hope you didn't mind this one Dsenette I Can't Believe your Horrible at Physics being a Monkey with all that Running and Jumping Up and Down

[dsenette]

that's the beauty of being a monkey...we don't have to care about HOW things work..we just bask in the bliss of the fact that they do (really helps when dealing with windows errors "why is it doing this?" it's made by microsoft)

i don't have a riddle...so if you do...you can take my turn

Try This one

A cloud was my mother,

the wind is my father,

my son is the cool stream,

and my daughter is the fruit of the land.

A rainbow is my bed,

the earth my final resting place,

and I'm the torment of man.

What am I?



By the Way Dsenette a very Good Point about Microsoft Windows Issues can be very Frustrating

The Answer is .... Rain

Students at Rydell High with a class size,
under of 30 took a math test.
One third of the class got a "B",
one quarter a "B-", one sixth a "C",
and one eighth failed.
The remainder of the students got an "A"
How many students got an "A"?

[Drumbum667]

1/8 of the kids got A's.

[cheyenne 09]

Yup ... You're Up .... Post a Riddle

[Drumbum667]

Okay, well to do this riddle I need someone to give me a random number. I'm going to do it with 10 first and if you want another number just tell me and Ill do it. Here it is

10 is 3
3 is 5
5 is 4
4 is itself.

[friedmotherboard]

OK, is it 156? I'm usually horrible at riddles as I always overlook the obvious :-)

[Drumbum667]

No. It's not an number. It's really tricky.

[Pocky]

oh lol i know this! my math teacher told me this a while ago XD

Spoiler

there are three letters in 10, so 10 is 3; five letters in 3, so 3 is 5; four letters in 5, so 5 is 4; four letters in 4, so it's itself ^^;;;
