Two blocks with mass
kg and
kg are arranged as
shown on a ``3-4-5'' inclined plane and connected with a massless
unstretchable string running over a massless, frictionless pulley.
The two masses are released initially with
4 m above the
ground. The inclined plane has a coefficient of static friction
and a coefficient of kinetic friction of
.
a) How fast are the masses moving when
hits the ground?
b) Assuming the string goes limp at that instant (so
keeps
moving on the rough incline) does
hit the pulley?
