The radius is 0.3m, not 0.4m

**Problem Statement:**

A pulley system with \( m_1 = 30 \, \text{kg} \), \( m_2 = 40 \, \text{kg} \), and \( m_{\text{pulley}} = 4.2 \, \text{kg} \) is shown below. Assuming the pulley to be a uniform cylinder of radius 0.4 meters, what is the speed of \( m_2 \) just before it hits the floor if initially the system is "let go" from rest?

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram illustrates a simple pulley system:

- There are two masses, \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \), connected by a string over a pulley.
- Mass \( m_1 \) is on a platform at the bottom, on the left side of the pulley.
- Mass \( m_2 \) is hanging on the right side below the pulley.
- The pulley is marked with a radius of 0.4 meters.
- The string is attached to \( m_2 \) and goes over the pulley to connect to \( m_1 \).
- The height from which \( m_2 \) will fall is represented as 2.2 meters from the base.

The objective is to determine the speed of \( m_2 \) just before it impacts the floor.
