Question

Please include explanations and work for the problems. Please write it out to make it easy to understand.

The image depicts a physics problem involving a two-mass system connected by a rope over a pulley. The setup includes:

- **Mass \( M \)** on a horizontal table connected to mass \( m \) hanging vertically.
- The rope and pulley are assumed to be massless and frictionless.
- Mass \( M \) is initially at rest and moves to the right, while mass \( m \) moves downward, having been released from rest at a height \( h \).
- There is kinetic friction between mass \( M \) and the table, characterized by the coefficient \( \mu_k \).

**Objective:** Use energy conservation to derive an expression for the speed of mass \( m \) just before it impacts the floor, under the following conditions:

(a) The coefficient of kinetic friction between mass \( M \) and the table is \( \mu_k \).

(b) The table is frictionless.

(c) Determine the net work done on the system (masses \( M \) and \( m \)) under conditions (a) and (b). Use the work-kinetic energy theorem for your calculations.

**Diagram Description:**

- The diagram shows a pulley system with mass \( M \) on a table with friction (indicated by \( \mu_k \)) and mass \( m \) hanging vertically with a height \( h \) from the floor.
- The forces at play involve gravitational force on mass \( m \), frictional force opposing mass \( M \)'s motion, and the tension in the rope connecting the two masses.
