Question
3- Two mass m and 2m are connected by a massless string which
passes over a light frictionless pulley as shown in Fig. The mass
are initially held with equal lengths of string on either side of the
pulley and at a height of 13.08 m above the ground. Find the
velocity of the masses at the instand the lighter mass moves up a
distance of 6.45 m. The string is suddenly cut at the instand,
calculate the time taken by each mass to reach the ground.
