Question Two
Two particles P and Q have masses 7 m and Fm respectively, where F>7. The particles are
connected by a light inextensible string which passes over a smooth light fixed pulley. The
system is held at rest with the string taut, the hanging parts of the string vertical and with P and
Q at the same height above a horizontal plane as shown. The system is released from rest. After
release, P descends with acceleration8
(a) Draw a diagram to illustrate the information
42
(b) Show that the ten si on in the string as Q moves up ismg
(c) Find the value of F
(d) State how you used the information that the pulley is smooth.
(e) After descending for 1.2sec, the particle A reaches the plane and brought to rest. If B does not
reach the pulley in the subsequent motion, find the greatest height reached by B above the
plane.
