An Atwood's machine consists of blocks of masses m1 = 13.0 kg and m2 = 19.0 kg attached by a cord running over a pulley as in the figure below. The pulley is a solid cylinder with mass M = 9.20 kg and radius r = 0.200 m. The block of mass m2 is allowed to drop, and the cord turns the pulley without slipping.

(a) Why must the tension T2 be greater than the tension T1?

Two blocks with masses m1 = 1.10 kg and m2 = 3.50 kg are connected by a massless string. They are released from rest. The coefficent of kinetic friction between the upper block and the surface is 0.440. Assume that the pulley has a negligible mass and is frictionless, and calculate the speed of the blocks after they have moved a distance 68.0 cm.

Two blocks of masses m1 = 4.64 kg and m2 = 7.01 kg are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. A light spring is placed between the blocks and the blocks are pushed together with the spring between them and released. m1 kg moves to the right with a speed of 7.4 m/s. Determine the speed of the other mass. (Hint: Momentum is conserved!)
