Hi!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 = 10.0 kg, as shown in the figure below. Find the acceleration of each object and the tension in the cable. mass m1= m/s2

mass m2= m/s2
tension = N
Thank you so much for you help.

see other post, sinTheta=0 for a horizontal table. In this case, switch m1 and m2, as m2 is the hanging mass here.
