Question: A light inextensible string that goes over a smooth fixed pulley as shown in the figure connects two blocks of masses 0.36 ππ and 0.72 ππ. Taking π = 10 π/π 2 , find the work done (in joules) by the string on the block of mass 0.36 ππ during the first second after the system is released from rest

(A) 6 π½ππ’ππ
(B) 5 π½ππ’ππ
(C) 8 π½ππ’ππ
(D) 2 π½ππ’ππ
