Question
A cord with two masses at each end (Mass 1 = 6.0 kg and Mass 2 = 11 kg) is hanging by a pulley.
1) Calculate the acceleration of the system.
2) Calculate the tension force on the cord.

tension = T
force up on m1 = T - 6 g = 6 a
force down on m2 = 11 g - T = 11 a
T - 6 g = 6 a
11 g - T = 11 a
---------------------------- add these equations
5 g = 17 a
a = (5/17)g = 5 (9.81 ) / 17
force up on m1 = T - 6 g = 6 a
force down on m2 = 11 g - T = 11 a
T - 6 g = 6 a
11 g - T = 11 a
---------------------------- add these equations
5 g = 17 a
a = (5/17)g = 5 (9.81 ) / 17
