Here are the numbers I get... Wf = -1956.6 Ug1 = 5897.8 Ug2 = 19600 Wapp = 500 Also, doing what you said, I found the acceleration to be 5.88 which I used kinematics to find the velocity and then the kinetic energy but got 1150. What's the problem!?

Hey, this is my first time posting on PhysicsForums! I usually go through the archives but I couldn't find a problem like this. Two blocks m1 and m2 with masses 50 kg and 100 kg respectively are connected by a string over a pulley that is frictionless with negligible mass. The 50 kg block...
