Question

In the given figure, two unequal masses m1 and m2 are connected by a string going over a smooth pulley . In the figure m1 = 300 g and m2 = 600 g . The system is released from rest . Find
a) the distance travelled by the first block in first two seconds.
b) Tension in the string.
c) force exerted by the clamp on the pulley .

Answer 1

now you can use initial velocity 0 and acceleration to calculate distance
