markosheehan Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Two particles of masses 3 kg and 5 kg are connected by a light inextensible string, of length 4 m, passing over a light smooth peg of negligible radius. The 5 kg mass rests on a smooth horizontal table. The peg is 2.5 m directly above the 5 kg mass. The 3 kg mass is held next to the peg and is allowed to fall vertically a distance 1.5 m before the string becomes taut. does any one know what this question looks like i cant even imagine it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sriman Dutta Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 You haven't given any question. It's just a vague description of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophiolite Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 This is extremely difficult to answer without drawing it out, in which case I have done the first part of your homework for you. Try re-arranging the instructions. There is a 5kg mass resting on a table. A 3kg mass sits directly above it. The latter is adjacent to a peg (which must therefore also be immediately above the 5kg mass on the table. Can you take it from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
