There are two weights of the same mass of 2.0 kg2.0 kg attached to a string looped over a braked pulley.

The left weight is lying on the floor, the right one is suspended 1.0 m1.0 m above the floor.

There is another weight of mass 0.5 kg0.5 kg attached to the string 20 cm20 cm above the right weight.

The string except the part around the pulley is stretched vertically. We eventually release the pulley.

What is the speed at which the lower right weight hits the floor?

What is the height that the left weight rises to after the lower right weight falls inelastically to the floor?

What is the maximum height that the lower right weight rises back to?

Neglect the mass of both the string and the pulley, deformation of the string by tension, and friction.

Solve each part of the assignment in general first, then find the particular solution.

Two blocks are attached to opposite ends of a string that passes over a massless, frictionless pulley (see the figure). Block ? of mass 10.0 kg lies on a 60.0° incline with a coefficient of friction of 0.500, and block ? of mass 1.00 kg is attached to a vertical spring of force constant 200 N/m. The blocks are initially at rest with the spring at equilibrium. Find the maximum height that the block ? rises.

A mass m1 = 1 kg on a horizontal table is pulled by a string looped over a massless frictionless pulley and attached to another hanging mass m2. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the table and mass m1 is 0.5 and the coefficient of static friction is 0.6. a) What is the minimum mass m2 that will start both masses moving? b) What is the acceleration of the system with this minimum mass?
