Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in the figure below. The system is released from rest while m₂ is on the floor and m, is a distance h above the floor. (a) Assuming m, > m₂, find an expression for the speed of m, just as it reaches the floor. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g.) V₁ = (b) Taking m₁ = 6.1 kg, m₂ = 4.4 kg, and h = 3.8 m, evaluate your answer to part (a). m/s (c) Find the speed of each block when m, has fallen a distance of 2.0 m. m/s
