(Solved)
The fig. shows a 2 kg block attached to 0.5 kg mass by a light in-extensible string which passes over a pulley. The force of friction between the horizontal bench and block is 3N. The block is released from rest so that both masses move through a distance of 0.6m. Calculate the velocity of the string.
