The question as text
A B 0.5 m P A particle A of mass 1.6 kg rests on a horizontal table and is attached to one end of a light inextensible string. The string passes over a small smooth pulley P fixed at the edge of the table. The other end of the string is attached to a particle B of mass 2.4 kg which hangs freely below the pulley. The system is released from rest with the string taut and with B at a height of 0.5 m above the ground, as shown in the diagram. In the subsequent motion A does not reach P before B reaches the ground.
