Two masses of size m and 4m are connected by a massless thread and are strung over a frictionless pulley of radius R and moment-of-inertia I. The two masses are held motionless at the same height and then released from rest. After the mass 4m has fallen a distance L and the mass m has risen the same distance L, what is the total kinetic energy of the entire system

    Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl

    Explanation:

    Given two masses: m and 4m.

    Since the pulley is frictionless and the thread is massless, the energy here is linked to the two masses.

    Total kinetic energy of entire system = decrease in gravitational potential energy of the system.

    Therefore, we have:

    ΔKE = Δp

    ΔKE = 4mgl - mgl

    = 3 mgl

    Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl
