The question as text
Two particles A and B, of masses 2.4kg and 1.2kg respectively, are connected by a light inextensible string which passes over a fixed smooth pulley. A is held at a distance of 2.1m above a horizontal plane and B is 1.5m above the plane. The particles hang vertically and are released from rest. In the subsequent motion A reaches the plane and does not rebound and B does not reach the pulley.
