M m A heavy block M is set on a rough incline. It is attached to a lighter hanging block m by a string that passes over a frictionless pulley. The system is released from rest, and M accelerates down the plane. Let K and U be the kinetic and potential energies of the M-Earth system, and let k and u be the kinetic and potential energies of the m-Earth system. (a) Draw an energy bar-chart showing the energy transformations as M accelerates down and m accelerates up.
