In Fig. a pulley is shown which is frictionless and a ring of mass m can slide on the string without any friction. One end of the string is attached to point B and to the other end, a block 'P' of mass m is attached. The whole system lies in vertical plane. Now another block 'C' of same mass m is attached to the block 'P' and system is released from rest. If a_(1) and a_(2) are the magnitudes of initial accelerations of ring and blocks, respectively, then
