A block of mass M/2 rests on a frictionless horizontal table, as shown above. It is connected to one end of a string that passes over a massless pulley and has another block of mass M/2 hanging from its other end. The apparatus is released from rest. (a) Derive an expression for the speed v, of the hanging block as a function of the distance d it descends. Now the block and pulley system is replaced by a uniform rope of length L and mass M, with one end of the rope hanging slightly over the edge of the frictionless table. The rope is released from rest, and at some time later there is a length y of rope hanging over the edge, as shown below. Express your answers to parts (b), (c), and (d) in terms of y, L, M, and fundamental constants.

A basketball player of mass m=88.4 kg jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body d1=0.44 m, then he accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a speed sufficient to carry him d2=0.56 m above the floor. Write an expression for the speed v with which the basketball player leaves the floor. Write an expression for the speed v with wiich the basketball player leaves the floor. Write an expression for the acceleration, a, of the basketball player during the leg-straightening. Write an expression for the force upward force, FN, exerted on the basketball player by the floor during the leg straightening. What is the magnitude, in newtons, of the force FN while the player is straightening his legs?
