A 9kg mass on a slope which is at an angle of 15 degrees is attached via a an inextensible string over a fixed, frictionless pulley to a 5kg mass. The 9kg mass is initially moving up the slope at a rate of 1.5 m/s. How far has the mass traveled when it comes to a stop and what will its velocity be when it has then slid back down the slope a distance of 3m?
