Two particle of mass $m$ each are tied at the ends of a light string of length $2 \mathrm{a}$. 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 center $\mathrm{P}$ (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 $2 \mathrm{x}$ is
