Figure 1
Figure 1 shows a small smooth ring threaded onto a light inextensible string.
One end of the string is attached to a fixed point A on a horizontal ceiling and the other
end of the string is attached to a fixed point B on the ceiling.
A horizontal force of magnitude 2 N acts on the ring so that the ring rests in equilibrium
at a point C, vertically below B, with the string taut.
The line of action of the horizontal force and the string both lie in the same
vertical plane.

Figure 5

A fixed rough plane is inclined at an angle α to the horizontal, where tan α =
12
A small smooth pulley is fixed at the top of the plane.
One end of a light inextensible string is attached to a particle P which is at rest on the
plane. The string passes over the pulley and the other end of the string is attached to a
particle Q which hangs vertically below the pulley, as shown in Figure 5.
Particle P has mass m and particle Q has mass 0.5m
The string from P to the pulley lies along a line of greatest slope of the plane.
The coefficient of friction between P and the plane is μ.
The system is in limiting equilibrium with the string taut and P is on the point of
slipping up the plane.
(a) Find the value of μ.
(8)
The string breaks and P begins to move down the plane.
When particle P has travelled a distance of 0.8 m down the plane, the speed of P
is V m s–1
(b) Find the value of V.
