Two particles A and B have masses m kg and 3 kg respectively,
where m > 3. The particles are connected by a light inextensible string which passes over a smooth, fixed pulley. Initially A is 2.5 m above horizontal ground. The particles are released from rest with the string taut and the hanging parts of the string vertical, as shown in the figure. After A has been descending for 1.25s, it strikes the ground. Particle A reaches the ground before B has reached the pulley.
a Show that the acceleration of B as it ascends is 3.2 m s-2.
b Find the tension in the string as A descends.
c Show that m = 65/11
d State how you have used the information that the string is inextensible.
When A strikes the ground it does not rebound and the string becomes slack. Particle B then moves freely under gravity, without reaching the pulley, until the string becomes taut again.
e Find the time between the instant when A strikes the ground and the instant when the string becomes taut again.
Can someone help with question e please, I keep getting 20/49s but the answer is 40/49s🥲🥲
