Two masses each equal to m are lying on x-axis at (-a, 0) and (+a, 0) respectively, as shown in the figure below. They are connected by a light string. A force F is applied at the origin along vertical direction. As a result, the masses move towards each other without loosing contact with the ground. The instantaneous position of the masses are (-x, 0) and (x, 0) respectively. The acceleration of each mass is (-a, 0) (a, 0) (0,0)
