Principle of Conservation of Energy problem 33


Two bodies with masses and are attached to the ends of an unstretchable cord, which is passed over a light pulley. When the heavier body is lifted through a height , the lighter body is right on the ground. The friction of the pulley is negligibly small. If the heavier body is dropped from height ;


  • at what speed does it fall to the ground?

  • to what maximum height does the lighter body rise?
