Assume that omega is the angular velocity of the pulley at


The figure shows two blocks, with the same mass M, connected by a massless string over a pulley with rotational inertia I. The string does not slip over the pulley, there is no friction force between the table and the sliding block; the pulley's axis is frictionless. The system is released from rest, and the sliding block moves to the right, while the hanging block moves down.

(a) Which tension has larger magnitude? The tensions T1 and T2 are equal.

(b) The net work done by the tension forces on the pulley is.

(c) Assume that v is the velocity of the sliding block just before the other block strikes the floor, after traveling a distance H from rest. Assume that ω is the angular velocity of the pulley at the same time. What is the kinetic energy of the system consisting of both blocks and the pulley at that time?
