Question 58
A particle A A\,A of mass 4 kg rests on a smooth horizontal table. It is connected by a light inextensible string passing over a small smooth pulley at the edge of the table to a hanging particle B B\,B of mass 1 kg. The system is released from rest. Use g=9.8 m s−2g=9.8\text{ m s}^{-2}g=9.8 m s−2.
a.[3]
Find the acceleration of the particles.
b.[2]
Find the tension in the string.
