11 A block of mass 3 kg is at rest on a smooth horizontal table. It is attached to a light inextensible string which passes over a smooth pulley. This part of the string is horizontal. A sphere of mass 1.2 kg is attached to the other end of the string. The sphere hangs with this part of the string vertical as shown in the diagram. A horizontal force of magnitude \(F\) N is applied to the block to prevent motion.

- Complete the copy of the diagram in the Printed Answer Booklet to show all the forces acting on the block and the sphere.
- Find the value of \(F\).
The force \(F\) N is removed, and the system begins to move.
- The equation of motion of the block is \(\mathrm { T } = 3 \mathrm { a }\), where \(T \mathrm {~N}\) is the tension in the string and \(a \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\) is the acceleration of the block.
Write down the equation of motion of the sphere.
- Find the value of \(T\).
