Two particles of mass $m$ each are tied at the ends of a light string of length $2a$ . The whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance $'a'$ from the centre $P$ (as shown in the figure). Now, the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force $F$ . As a result, the particles move towards each other on the surface. The magnitude of acceleration, when the separation between them becomes $2x$ , is

A mass of $10\,kg$ is suspended vertically by a rope from the roof. When a horizontal force is applied on the rope at some point, the rope deviated at an angle of $45^o$ at the roof point. If the suspended mass is at equilibrium, the magnitude of the force applied is ..........  $N$ $(g = 10\,ms^{-2})$
