There is no appreciable friction in the axle of the drum, and everything starts from rest. This system is being tested on earth, but it is to be used on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.71 m/s2. In the earth tests, when m is set to 13.0 kg and allowed to fall through 5.00 m, it gives 300.0 J of kinetic energy to the drum. If the system is operated on Mars, through what distance would the 13.0-kg mass have to fall to give the same amount of kinetic energy to the drum? How fast would the 13.0-kg mass be moving on Mars just as the drum gained 300.0 J of kinetic energy?arrow_forward
