As shown in the figure, two particles, each of mass 'm' tied at the ends of a light string of length 2a are kept on a frictionless horizontal surface. When the mid point (P) of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force F, the particles move towards each other on the surface. Magnitude of acceleration of each particle, when the separation between them becomes 2x is

The figure represents a crystal unit of cesium chloride,CsCl. The cesium atoms, represented by open circles are situated at the corners of a cube of side 0.40 nm, whereas  Cl atom is situated at the centre of the cube. The Cs atoms are deficient in one electron while the atom carries an excess electron.
Suppose that the Cs atom at the corner A is missing. What is the net force on the Cl atom due to seven remaining Cs atoms?
