Use the diagram of Q 22

T-m1g = m1 a ......................(1)
m2g - T = m2 a ......................(2)

a= (m2 -m1)g / (m1 + m2 ) = (0.6 - 0.3 ) * 10 / (0.6 + 0.3 ) = 3.33 m /s sq
T = m1 (g + a ) = 4 N

            [ g is taken 10]
After 2 sec the m1 has velocity v = u + at = 6.66 m /s [ u = 0 ]
This is upward.
At time 2 sec, the mass m2 stops for a moment. But it was also moving with 6.66 m /s velocity in downward dirn. This is stopped momentarily.

But m1 continues to move till its vel is 0. How long m1 moves ?
Here v = 0 , u = 6.66 m /s

But a is not 3.33 m /sec sq.
a = -- 10 m /sec sq.

            The vel of m1 is zero. It means is being retarded. The retarding force is gravity. The retarding accln is 10 m /sec sq.

   The rest is simple.

            v = u + gt

0= 6.66 - 10 t

t = 0.66 = 2/3 sec

During this 2 /3 sec m2 is also moving downward. So the string will be tight after 2/3 sec.
