Solution Summary
The conservation of energy problem dealing with frictionless pulley are examined. A system releasing a frictionless pulley is examined for an object.
Solution Preview
The 12.0kg object does not undergo free fall because once it drags the 6.0kg object off the ground it will have to overcome the weight of the 6.0kg object and ...
