Do you remember how you solved the last part? Also for the second last one, how'd you calculate the heights of A and B from the ground?
The length of the string was 5.28m and the length of the table was 4m. So 5.25-4 = 1.28m
So the remaining 2 ssides each had a length of 1.28/2= 0.64
Hence the height of off the ground was 1-0.64=0.36

yes. the total length of the string was 5.28
and the table's length was 4 so (5.28-4)/2 = 0.64. The height of each particle is 1-0.64=0.36 m
And for the last part. B has touched the ground. Tension in that string becomes 0
so 0-(0.25+2.5a +2 ) = 0.5a
so a = -6

i used equation of motion cuse the acceleration is constant :D

hahahaahah yayyyyyy. I am loosing more than you though. Do you remember the answer to Q2 (i) Did you get T=5???
can you write down the question idr it at all :/

Oh now I remember...I though I was wring in assuming that they were both the same distance from the ground since it was me to ones nowhere in the question. I got -4 in the last question cause the only force that I took was friction and not the tension in the other string :p
