Homework Statement
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 3.50m/s .
If the total mass of the two blocks is 14.0 kg, what is the mass of the more massive block?
