4 Two particles are connected by a string, which passes over a pulley. Model the string as light and inextensible. The particles have masses of 2 kg and 5 kg . The particles are released from rest.

- State one modelling assumption that you should make about the pulley in order to determine the acceleration of the particles.
- By forming an equation of motion for each particle, show that the magnitude of the acceleration of each particle is \(4.2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\).
- Find the tension in the string.
