2.16 A mass M₁ slides on a 45° inclined plane of height H as shown in Fig. 2-14.
It is connected by a flexible cord of negligible mass over a small pulley (neglect its
mass) to an equal mass M₂ hanging vertically as shown. The length of the cord
is such that the masses can be held at rest both at height H/2. The dimensions
of the masses and the pulley are negligible compared to H. At time t=0 the
two masses are released.
(a) For t> 0 calculate the vertical acceleration a of M₂.
(b) Which mass will move downward?
(c) At what time i will the mass identified in part b) strike the ground?
(d) If the mass identified in part b) stops when it hits the ground, but the
other mass keeps moving, will it strike the pulley?
