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 F2mxa2-x2
