Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier was the first person to report the four element classification system but also ended up including some compounds rather than elements.
Answer:

Downward
Explanation:
We are given that
Mass of monkey=12.8 kg
Tension=156 N
We have to find the magnitude of the elevator's minimum acceleration.

Where 
Substitute the values



Hence, the acceleration =
Direction of the elevator's minimum acceleration is downward because the elevator moves downwards.
Like charges repel, unlike charges attract
Two protons will also tend to repel each other because they both have a positive charge. On the other hand, electrons and protons will be attracted to each other because of their unlike charges.
So I would say no, unless the two bodies are placed close to each other where one has much more charge than the other, then due to induction, force of attraction becomes more than the force of repulsion.
