Work and energy

Block A ---------Pulley
------------------------I
------------------------I
------------------------I
--------------------Block B

Block A(3.0 kg) is lying on a table and block B (2.0kg) is hanging in the air.
Block B is 1.5m away from the floor.
The table is frictionless and the kinetic friction of the 3.0kg block is 0.15.
Use work and energy to find the speed of the 2.0kg block before it hits the floor.

Force pulling B towards ground is Gravitational (which i would assume to be 10)
and pulling A is solely tension as table is frictionless

As A and B is connected by a piece of string thus when B is pulled towards ground A is pulled towards the pulley

Now consider work done and energy changes

WD by gravitational forces on the system acts solely on B, becoz A moves horizontally so by WD=FS, where S is zero, WD must be Zero too

for B, also apply WD=FS, where F = mg = 20, S = 1.5m
(please note that here WD = PE (mgh) as well)

so that WD by G on the system is 30

but as while B drops A is pulled, so this energy is changed to KE of both blocks

thus u can use 30 = 0.5(mava^2)+0.5(mbvb^2), where Va and Vb is equal, putting all the numbers given u should get 30 = V^2(0.5(3)+0.5(2))
V^2 = 30/2.5 = 12
V = 3.46ms-1

the key to this kind of mechanic questions is that u have to identify all kind of movements and how energy changed, the rest is simply equation applying
