Two masses are connected by a light string passing over a light, frictionless pulley as in this figure (http://www.webassign.net/sercp/p5-63alt.gif). The m1 = 4.85 kg object is released from rest at a point 4.00 m above the floor, where the m2 = 3.15 kg object rests.
(a) Determine the speed of each object when the two pass each other.
(b) Determine the speed of each object at the moment the 4.85 kg mass hits the floor.
(c) How much higher does the 3.15 kg mass travel after the 4.85 kg mass hits the floor?
