Particles \(A\) and \(B\) are attached to the ends of a light inextensible string which passes over a smooth pulley. The system is held at rest with the string taut and its straight parts vertical. Both particles are at a height of 0.36 m above the floor (see diagram). The system is released and \(A\) begins to fall, reaching the floor after 0.6 s .
- Find the acceleration of \(A\) as it falls.
The mass of \(A\) is 0.45 kg . Find
- the tension in the string while \(A\) is falling,
- the mass of \(B\),
- the maximum height above the floor reached by \(B\).
