Question: Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over frictionless pulley as shown above. The mass of the two blocks are m 1

Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over frictionless pulley as shown above. The mass of the two blocks are m1=8.5kg and m2=3.9kg. The system is released from rest while m2 is on the floor and m1 is a distance h=3.1m above the floor.
a) lgnoring the friction of the system find the speed of m1 just as it reaches the floor.
Units:
b) Ignoring the friction of the system find the time of m1 just as it reaches the floor.
s
Now suppose there is some friction in the system. Then the system is released from rest while m2 is on the floor and m1 is the same distance h=3.1m above the floor. The m 1 block takes 2.31 s time to reach the floor with the system's friction.
c) Find the speed of m1 just as it reaches the floor.
Units:
d) Find the work done by the friction.
