Two masses M1 and M2 are connected by an inextensible flexible massless string. The mass rests on a table with frictional co-efficient 0.2. The string passes over a smooth fixed pulley as shown. Initially the string is slack The mass M2 is allowed to fall freely from rest. The string becomes taught when the mass M2 falls through 50 cm. The two masses subsequently move with common velocity. Determine how far mass M1 will travel on the table before coming to the rest again.
