A man of mass m climbs to a rope ladder suspended below a balloon of mass M. The balloon is stationary with respect to the ground.
a) If the man begins to climb the ladder at a speed v (with respect to ladder), in what direction and with what speed (with respect to ground) will the balloon move?
b) What is the state of the motion after the man stops climbing?
