Question 53
Particles A A\,A and BBB, of masses 2 kg and 3 kg respectively, are attached to the ends of a light inextensible string passing over a small smooth fixed pulley. The particles are released from rest with the string taut. Use g=9.8 m s−2g=9.8\text{ m s}^{-2}g=9.8 m s−2.
a.[3]
Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the particles.
b.[2]
Find the tension in the string.
