The 8 kg cylinder A and 3 kg block B shown below are released from rest. Determine the speed of block A after it has moved 2 m starting from rest. What would be the speed of block A after it moves 2 m if the masses were reversed, i.e. , if mA = 3 kg and mB = 8 kg instead? Neglect the mass of the cables and pulleys.

The 8 k g cylinder A and 3 k g block B shown below are released from rest. Determine the speed of block A after it has moved 2 m starting from rest. What would be the speed of block A after it moves 2 m if the masses were reversed, i.e., if m A = 3 k g and m B = 8 k g instead? Neglect the mass of the cables and pulleys.
