Monkey and the mirror... :) physics?
a massless rope is strung over a frictionless pulley. A monkey holds onto the rope, and a mirror having the same wieght as the monkey, is attached on the other side of the rope at the monkeys level. can the monkey get away from the image it sees in the mirror by....
(a) climbing up the rope
(b) climbing down the rope
(c) releasing the rope
explain...
for all the answers i put no. because the weight is the same, so there is same amount of tension and accleration...but the accleration is just in same magnitude but opposite direction. am i right? rather, is the explanation i provided right?
Additional Details

climbing up the rope, or down !
the weight is the same, so when the monkey is moving up or down the mirror stays on the same spot.

Couldn't it release the rope? The weight of the mirror will pull it down once the weight of the monkey is not the counter weight?
