Question

An object with mass m1 = 5.00 kg, rests on a frictionless horizontal table and is connected to a cable that passes over a pulley and is then fastened to a hanging object with mass m2 = 9.0 kg, as shown in Figure P4.30. Find the acceleration of each object and the tension in the cable.

mass m1
mass m2
tension

Answer 1

Isnt the force pulling m2*g? And the mass being moved (m1+M2).

F=ma

Answer 2
