Please somebody solve the following question:
Two particles P and Q, of mass 7 kg and 9 kg respectively, are attached one to each end of a light
inextensible string of length 5 m. Initially, the particles are at rest on a smooth horizontal surface a
distance 3m apart. Particle Q is then projected horizontally with velocity
6ms–1 in a direction at 90° to the line joining the initial positions of P and Q.
Calculate the speed of P and the speed of Q immediately after the string becomes taut. Determine
the impulsive tension in the string during the jerk, and find the angle between the velocity of P and
the velocity of Q immediately after the jerk.
