Two blocks are connected by a string draped over a small pulley. The smaller block has half the inertia of the larger block. For which configuration, \((a)\) or \((b)\), in Figure P7.63 are the speeds of the blocks greatest after the larger block has descended a distance \(d\) ? Ignore friction between the table and the sliding block, and check your answer with a computation.
