Two masses are connected by a light string that goes over a light, frictionless pulley, as shown in the figure. The 10.0-kg mass is released and falls through a vertical distance of 1.00 m before hitting the ground. Use conservation of  mechanical energy to determine:

a)    how fast the 5.00-kg mass is moving just before the 10.0-kg mass hits the ground; and


b)    the maximum height attained by the 5.00-kg mass.
