Two particles P and Q of masses 2.5kg and 0.5kg respectively are connected by a light inextensible string that passes over a small smooth pulley fixed at the top of a plane inclined at an angle of 30∘ to the horizontal. Particle P is on the plane and Q hangs below the pulley such that the level of Q is 2m below the level of P (see diagram).
Particle P is released from rest with the string taut and slides down the plane. The plane is rough with coefficient of friction 0.2 between the plane and P.
(a) Find the acceleration of P.
(5)
(b) Use an energy method to find the speed of the particles at the instant when they are at the same vertical height.

题目中文翻译
两个质点 P 和 Q 的质量分别为 2.5kg 和 0.5kg,由一根轻且不可伸长的绳连接。绳绕过一个固定在斜面顶端的小型光滑滑轮,斜面与水平面成 30∘ 角。质点 P 位于斜面上,Q 悬挂在滑轮下方,且 Q 的高度比 P 的高度低 2m(见图)。
质点 P 在绳绷紧的情况下从静止释放,并沿斜面向下滑动。斜面粗糙,斜面与 P 之间的摩擦系数为 0.2。
(a) 求 P 的加速度。
(5)
(b) 使用能量方法,求两质点处于同一竖直高度的瞬间的速率。
