Two masses $m$ and $2m$ are connected by a light string passing over a pulley (disc) of mass $M = 30m$ and radius $r = 0.1 \ m$. The pulley is mounted in a vertical plane and is free to rotate about its axis. The $2m$ mass is released from rest. Find its speed when it has descended through a height of $h = 3.6 \ m$. (Assume the string does not slip and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
