I got 5.34 actually, I'll check out the calculations. Thanks for the help!

Homework Statement A cylinder of mass M and radius R, with moment of inertia: I_c = \frac{1}{2}MR^2 rolls down without slipping through an inclined plane with an angle of θ, while pulling a block of mass Mb with an attached frame (of insignificant mass) which is connected to the axis of...

Hi, thanks for your help. I just noticed that I didnt consider the Y-axis movement for m1 to be different from the one of m2. I didn't define PEgrav because I'm just looking for the change in energy, the problem isn't very specific on that one. However, now I'm getting 5.3 m/s as the result of...

Homework Statement Two blocks of masses m1 = 8.00 kg and m2 = 12.00 kg are connected by a string of insignificant mass. The string lies on a cylinder of mass 0.50 kg and a radius of 0.15 m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and the surface of an inclined plane is 0.10. The angle...
