2 Particles \(P\) and \(Q\), of masses 0.45 kg and \(m \mathrm {~kg}\) respectively, are attached to the ends of a light inextensible string which passes over a small smooth pulley. The particles are released from rest with the string taut and both particles 0.36 m above a horizontal surface. \(Q\) descends with acceleration \(0.98 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\). When \(Q\) strikes the surface, it remains at rest.
- Calculate the tension in the string while both particles are in motion.
- Find the value of \(m\).
- Calculate the speed at which \(Q\) strikes the surface.
- Calculate the greatest height of \(P\) above the surface. (You may assume that \(P\) does not reach the pulley.)
