Question

An Atwood machine consists of two masses hanging from the ends of a rope that passes over a pulley. The masses have the values m1 = 28.0 kg and m2 = 12.0 kg. Assume that the rope and pulley are massless and that there is no friction in the pulley. What is the magnitude of the masses' acceleration a? m/s^2 What is the magnitude of the tension T in the rope? N
