    Two particles of different masses are attached to opposite ends of a light string that passes over a fixed pulley. Particle A lies on a plane inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal, while particle B hangs vertically below. Given that A accelerates up the rough plane at 0.1 m/s^2, part (b) shows that the coefficient of friction between A and the plane is 1/3. Part (c) is asked to find the time that A moves up the plane after B reaches the floor and comes to rest.

    Two particles A and B, of masses 3m kg and 2m kg respectively, are attached to the ends of a light
    inextensible string. The string passes over a fixed smooth pulley which is attached to the edge of a
    plane. The plane is inclined at an angle 1 to the horizontal. A lies on the plane and B hangs vertically,
    0.8 m above the floor, which is horizontal. The string between A and the pulley is parallel to a line of
    greatest slope of the plane (see diagram). Initially A and B are at rest.

    (a) Given that the plane is smooth, find the value of 1 for which A remains at rest. [3]

    (c) When B reaches the floor it comes to rest.

    Find the length of time after B reaches the floor for which A is moving up the plane. [You may
    assume that A does not reach the pulley.] [4]
