,1. Two particles, A and B, have masses m and 3m respectively. The particles are connected
by a light inextensible string. Initially A and B are at rest on a smooth horizontal plane
with the string slack.

Particle A is then projected along the plane away from B with speed U.
Given that the common speed of the particles immediately after the string becomes taut
is S
(a) find S in terms of U.
(2)
(b) Find, in terms of m and U, the magnitude of the impulse exerted on A immediately
after the string becomes taut.
