Two particles A and B each of mass m are connected by a light inextensible string passing over a light, smooth, fixed pulley. Particle A rests on a rough plane inclined at α to the horizontal, where tan α =5/12 . Particle B hangs vertically 1 m above the ground. The coefficient of friction between A and the inclined plane is .5
The system is released from rest.
(ii) How far will A travel after B strikes the ground?
i know how to work out most of this question. the only thing i am confused on is what is the acceleration of mass of A when B strikes the ground. i would of said it was g/13 but it is -11g/13 . all i need to know is the acceleration of B.
