S1 and S2 are light inextensible strings, and A and B are particles each of mass 0.2 kg. Particle A is suspended from a fixed point O by the string S1, and particle B is suspended from A by the string S2.
The particles hang in equilibrium as shown in the diagram.
(i) Find the tensions in S1 and S2.
The string S1 is cut and the particles fall. The air resistance acting on A is 0.4N and the air resistance acting on B is 0.2N.
(ii) Find the acceleration of the particles and the tension in S2.

Solution:
