2 Two particles \(P\) and \(Q\), of masses 0.5 kg and 0.3 kg respectively, are connected by a light inextensible string. The string is taut and \(P\) is vertically above \(Q\). A force of magnitude 10 N is applied to \(P\) vertically upwards.
Find the acceleration of the particles and the tension in the string connecting them.
