Question

Two objects are connected by a light string passing over a light, frictionless pulley as shown in the figure below. The object of

mass m₁ = 5.80 kg is released from rest at a height = 3.40 m above the table.

(a) Using the isolated system model, determine the speed of the object of mass m₂ = 3.00 kg just as the 5.80-kg object

hits the table.

(b) Find the maximum height above the table to which the 3.00-kg object rises.
