The two masses in the Atwood's machine shown in the figure are initially at rest at the same height. After they are released, the large mass, m2?, falls through a height h and hits the floor, and the small mass, m2?, rises through a height h.
Find the speed of the masses just before m2? lands, giving your answer in terms of m1?,m2?,g, and h. Assume the ropes and pulley have negligible mass and that friction can be ignored.
h=1.5m,m1?=3.0kg, and m2?=5.0kg
assumed that the ropes and pulley have negligibe mass and ignorinng the friction,for speed of masses just before lands,we need to calculate acceleration,i.e. then for velocity achieved after travelling distance .
