Question

Two objects are connected by a light string passing over a light, frictionless pulley as in the diagram. m1 = 4.50 kg, m2 = 2.10 kg, and h = 4.30 m. The 4.50 kg object is released from rest at a point 4.30 m above the floor. Determine the speed of each object when the two pass each other. Determine the speed of each object at the moment the 4.50 kg object hits the floor. How much higher does the 2.10 kg object travel after the 4.50 kg object hits the floor?
