Homework Statement
Two masses are connected by a light string that goes over a light, frictionless pulley, as shown in the figure. The 8.7-kg mass m1 is released and falls through a vertical distance of h = 1.09 m before hitting the ground. Use conservation of mechanical energy to determine:
*picture attached*
a) how fast the 3.9-kg mass m2 is moving just before the 8.7-kg mass hits the ground; and
b) the maximum height attained by the 3.9-kg mass.
