In fig m1=4m2. Pulleys are smooth and the thread is light. At t=0 system is released from rest. Find the maximum height reached by m2
since m1 has two strings attached it has half the acc
4mg-2T=2ma (1) for m1
T-mg=ma (2) for m2
(1)+2*(2)
2mg=4ma a=g/2
fpor m1 a=g/4=2.45 v^2=u^2+2as v2=0+2*9.8/4*0.2=0.98 v=sqrt(0.98)=0.99
The speed of m2 is twice the speed of m1 ie 1.98
after m1 stops m2 takes on acceleration -g v^2=u^2+2as s=(0-3.96)/2*9.8=0.2
height reached=0.4+0.2=0.6
