TopicPulley systems

2 Particles \(A\) of mass 0.65 kg and \(B\) of mass 0.35 kg are attached to the ends of a light inextensible string which passes over a fixed smooth pulley. \(B\) is held at rest with the string taut and both of its straight parts vertical. The system is released from rest and the particles move vertically. Find the tension in the string and the magnitude of the resultant force exerted on the pulley by the string.
