Two objects are connected to a string, and the string is hung over a pulley connected to the ceiling, as shown in the figure below. (i) released from rest. The pulley's axis has negligible friction. The mass of the string is small enough to be ignored, and the string does not slip on the pulley, nor does it stretch. (a) How much time (in s) does it take object m1 to hit the floor after being released? Δt1 = s (b) How would your answer to part (a) change if the mass of the pulley were neglected? (Enter the time, in seconds, it takes object m1 to hit the floor if the mass of the pulley were neglected.) Δt2 = s
