To solve the problem step by step, we will use trigonometric ratios. ### Step 1: Understand the scenario We have a kite flying at a height of 60 m above the ground, and the string makes an angle of 60° with the ground. We need to find the length of the string (let's denote it as AC). ### Step 2: Identify the right triangle In this scenario, we can visualize a right triangle where: - The height of the kite (60 m) is the opposite side (AB). ...

Two masses A and B of 3kg and 2kg are connected by a long inextensible string which passes over a massless and frictionless pulley.
