Question

Its mass M1 slides on a 45degree oblique surface and its height is H, as shown. The mass is connected by a flexible rope, the mass of which is neglected over a small ball (neglect its mass) and connected to another mass M2 , its mass is equal to the mass of the mass hanging over the head, as shown in the figure below. The rope is long enough to be  Height H / 2 The dimensions of the blocks and the reel are neglected compared to the height H The two masses were left free at time t = 0

a- At  t> 0, find the vertical acceleration of the M2  block?

b-Which of the two blocks will move down? Calculate the time t1 that will hit the Earth?

c- If the block in the previous paragraph stopped when it hit the ground, but the other block continued to move, explain whether it will hit the pulley or not and why?
