Question

You will solve a general Atwood Machine problem usingconservation of energy techniques. The system starts at restwith heights h1 and h2 as shown. It isthen released and, once in motion, m2 falls to theground. The string does not stretch. a.   Write out the conservation of energyequation with the initial position at the moment the system isreleased, and the final position just before m2 hits theground. Write the equation in terms of m1,m2, g, h1, h2, and v, where v isthe velocity just before m2 hits the ground b.   Simplify this to eliminateh1. c.   Solve the above equation for v. d.   Suppose h2=10m,m1=8kg and m2=12kg, what is the velocity atwhich m2 hist the ground
