The three blocks shown are released from rest and are observed to move with accelerations that have a magnitude of 1.5 m/s^2. Disregard any pulley mass or friction in the pulley and let M = 2 kg. The magnitude of the friction force on the block that slides horizontally is 4.6N
What is the tension force between M and 2M?

Description of the blocks location: There is table. In the middle of the table is a block 2M. On the left side of the table is a block M that hang under the left side pulley and on the right side of the table is another Block 2M that hang under the right side pulley.

Draw a free body diagram for M. It is going to accelerate in the direction of the "winning force" at 1.5 m/s^2. Find the net force as it is the vector sum of the forces acting on the block. Use the net force to find the tension.
