Two blocks hang from a string over a pulley. A 5 kg block on the left is pulled up by a falling second block on the right. If the acceleration is 1 m/s 2, then find the mass of block #2. Hint: after you build an equation for each mass, get all the m2 terms together and solve for m2

2. A block of mass m is moving with speed v along a horizontal surface when it collides with a uniform rod of mass 2m and length L attached at one end to a pivot. The surface and pivot have negligible friction. The rod is vertical when the block collides with the end of the rod. The block sticks to the rod, and the block-rod system rotates so that the end of the rod reaches a height h, as shown above. The total rotational inertia of the rod about the pivot is 2mL/3. Express answers in parts (a), (b), and (c) in terms of m, L, v, and physical constants as appropriate. 2m, L a.
