Consider the two blocks shown in the figure at right. Assume m1 > m2 and the two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over a pulley of radius R having a moment of inertia I about its axis of rotation. The string does not slip on the pulley or stretch, and the pulley is assumed to be frictionless. The two objects are initially separated by a vertical distance 2h. (a) find the speeds of the two masses as they pass each other (b) Find the angular speed of the pulley at this time. Write the solutions in terms of m1, m2, I, g, h and R. HINT: take the half way point between the two masses as your zero of potential energy. Photo of set up attached. Thanks.
