A person on an icy expedition is trying to lower a crate of mass m1 = 5.65 kg crate to the bottom of a steep ravine of height h2 21.8 m using a rope over a simple pulley. The person, who m2 frictionless %| weighs m2 = 60.9 kg, is being careful to lower the crate at a constant speed of 1.50 m/s. Unfortunately, when the crate reaches a point h = 12.1 meters above the ground, the person slips and the crate immediately accelerates toward the ground, dragging the hapless person across the ice and toward the edge of the cliff. h If we assume the ice is perfectly slick (that is, no friction between the person and the ice once he slips and falls down), at what speed will the crate hit the ground? Assume also that the rope is long enough to allow the crate to hit the ground before the crewman slides over the side of the cliff. speed: m/s At what speed will the person hit the bottom of the ravine? (Assume no air friction.) speed: m/s
