Physics - NLM Question with Solution | TestHub

On a horizontal table with a height 3m, there is a block of mass 8 kg at rest. The block is connected by a long (length >> height of table $=3\mathrm{m}$ ) massless string to a second block of mass 1 kg which hangs from the edge of table as shown in the figure. The blocks are then released. Find distance (in meter) between the points where the two blocks hit ground. Neglect friction every where, and assume the blocks do not bounce back after collision with ground. ( $\mathrm{g}=10\mathrm{m}/{\mathrm{s}}^2$ ).
