$A$ light string fixed at one end to a clamp on the ground passes over a fixed pulley and hangs on the other side. It makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the ground. $A$ monkey of mass $5 \ kg$ climbs up the rope. The clamp can tolerate a vertical force of $40 \ N$ only. The maximum acceleration in the upward direction with which the monkey can climb safely is ............ $m/s^2$ (neglect friction and take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$).
