The string is vertical on both sides of the pulley

Reference no: EM13651044

An Atwood machine consists of two masses that are connected bya taut string that passes over a perfect pulley. Initially the 8pound mass is suspended 3.5 ft above the floor and the 4 pound massis resting on the floor. After the large mass is released what is the maximum distance the small mass will rise above the floor? (The string is vertical on both sides of the pulley.)
