Question

Consider the Atwood machine shown in the figure, where 

m1 = 2.00 kg

 and 

m2 = 5.00 kg.

 The system starts at rest, then the sphere is given a quick push downward, giving it an initial speed of 2.45 m/s.

Assume the pulley and cord are massless, and the cord is inextensible. Neglect friction.
(a)Through what distance (in m) will m1 descend?
b)What is the velocity (in m/s) of m1 after 1.80 s?
magnitude
