Two blocks with different mass are attached to either end of a light rope that passes over a light, frictionless pulley that is suspended from the ceiling. The masses are released from rest, and the more massive one starts to descend. After this block has descended a distance 1.20m , its speed is 1.50m/s .

a. If the total mass of the two blocks is 16.0kg , what is the mass of the more massive block?

Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80m/s2 .

b. What is the mass of the lighter block?

Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80m/s2 .

I have solved this question earlier with different figures. Please workout using yours figures. If you need any further help just PM me. If I have helped you please rate me 5 stars first (before you rate anyone else)

Two blocks with different mass are attached to either end of a light rope that passes over a light, frictionless pulley that is suspended from the ceiling. The masses are released from rest, and the more massive one starts to descend. After this block has descended a distance 1.30 m, its speed is 3.00 m/s.
a) If the total mass of the two blocks is 17.0 kg, what is the mass of the more massive block?Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s^2. (mass 1)
b) What is the mass of the lighter block?
Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s^2. (mass 2)

A box of mass m = 10.0 kg is attached to a rope. The other end of the rope is wrapped around a pulley with a radius of 15.0 cm. When you release the box, it begins to fall and the rope around the pulley begins to unwind, causing the pulley to rotate. As the box falls, the rope does not slip as it unwinds from the pulley. If the box is traveling at a speed of 2.50 m/s after...

Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley having a moment of inertia of 0.0040 kg*m2 and a radius of 5.0 cm. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the table top and the upper block is 0.300. The blocks are released from rest. Using energy methods, find the speed of the upper block just as it has moved 0.600 m.

Block A rests on a horizontal tabletop. A light horizontal rope is attached to it and passes over a pulley, and block B is suspended from the free end of the rope. The light rope that connects the two blocks does not slip over the surface of the pulley (radius 0.080 m) because the pulley rotates on a frictionless axle. The horizontal surface on which block A (mass 3.30 kg) moves is frictionless. The system is released from rest, and...
