Two masses each equal to m are lying on x-axis at `(-a,0)(+a,0)` respectively as shown in figure They are connected by a light string A force F is applied at the origin along vertical direction As a result the masses move toward each other without loosing contact with ground What is the acceleration of each mass? Assume the instantanceous position of the masses as`(-x,0)`and `(x,0)`

Two particles each of mass m are connected by a light string of length 2L as shown in the figure. A constant force F is applied continuoulsly at the mid - point of the string at right - angle to intial position of the string.

Two particles of mass m each are tied at the ends of a light string of length 2a. The whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance a from the centre P (as shown in the figure). Now, the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force F. As a result, the particles move towards each other on the surface. The magnitude of acceleration, when the separation between them becomes 2x, is
