  1. A block with mass M1 rests on a frictionless table. It isconnected by a massless string to a block with mass M2, which hangsbelow the edge of the table. The system is released from rest attime t = 0. Find the distance block M1 moves in time t. You mayassume that the string passes over a massless, frictionless pulleyat the edge of the table to assist your calculations.
