Question
In the situation shown, a heavy wheel with a small drum attached is suspended by its frictionless axle from a ceiling. Attached to strings around the rims of the wheel and drum are two blocks of equal mass. The system is originally at rest. When the blocks are released.
- Nothing happens, since the blocks have equal mass.
- The right hand block falls and the left hand one rises, with accelerations of the same magnitude.
- While the blocks are moving, the tension in the right hand string is less than that in the left hand string
- Which block falls depends on the moment of inertia of the wheel-drum system.
The correct answer is: The right hand block falls and the left hand one rises, with accelerations of the same magnitude.

One ice skater of mass m moves with speed 2v to the right, while another of the same mass m moves with speed v toward the left, as shown in figure I. Their paths are separated by a distance b. At t = 0, when they are both at x = 0, they grasp a pole of length b and negligible mass. For t > 0, consider the system as a rigid body of two masses m separated by distance b, as shown in figure II. Which of the following is the correct formula for the motion after t = 0 of the skater initially at y = b/2?
