Question

hello, can you please show me the steps and the numbers so i can figure out how you got the answer? I am not understanding when people write formulas and say "solve for...' or else i wouldn't post the question. Thank you. also, the answers are NOT 0 or 27.3 A mass m1 = 5.8 kg rests on a frictionless table and connected by a massless string over a massless pulley to another mass m2 = 3.5 kg which hangs freely from the string. When released, the hanging mass falls a distance d = 0.78 m. 1) How much work is done by gravity on the two block system in Joules and how much work is done by the normal force on m1?

Explanation / Answer

(a)

Work done by gravity = 3.5*9.8*0.78 = 26.754 J

Work done by normal =0 J [ as direction of normal force is perpendicular to displacement]
