Homework Statement
5.Two objects, M = 15.3 kg and m = 8.69 kg are connected with an ideal string and suspended by a pulley (which rotates with no friction) in the shape of a uniform disk with radius R = 7.50 cm and mass Mp = 14.1 kg. The string causes the pulley to rotate without slipping. If the masses are started from rest and allowed to move 2.50 m what is the final speed (m/s) of mass m?
Homework Equations
M= 15.3 kg
m= 8.69 kg
r= 0.075 m
Mp= 14.1 kg
d= 2.5 m
g= 9.8 m/s^2
i= 0.5*Mp*r^2 = 0.03965625
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure what to do with the pulley... But my first try at finding the V of M was to use conservation of energy, which came out to be:
v=SQRT(2gh ((M-m)/(M+m)) ) = 3.674376423
The correct answer should be 3.23. What am I missing?
