Rotational Kinetic Energy: The figure shows two blocks connected by a light cord over a pulley. This apparatus is known as an Atwood's machine. There is no slipping between the cord and the surface of the pulley. The pulley itself has negligible friction and it has a radius of 0.12 m and a mass of 10.3 kg. We can model this pulley as a solid uniform disk. At the instant that the heavier block has descended 1.5 m starting from rest, what is the speed of the lighter block?
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
2.4 m/s
