The Figure Shows Two Blocks Connected by a Light Cord

question 127

Short Answer

The figure shows two blocks connected by a light cord over a pulley. This apparatus is known as an Atwood's machine. There is no slipping between the cord and the surface of the pulley. The pulley itself has negligible friction and it has a radius of 0.12 m and a mass of 10.3 kg. We can model this pulley as a solid uniform disk. At the instant that the heavier block has descended 1.5 m starting from rest, what is the speed of the lighter block?
