Question

A block of mass $m_1 = 34$ kg on a horizontal surface is connected to a mass $m_2 = 13.7$ kg that hangs vertically as shown in the figure below. The two blocks are connected by a string of negligible mass passing over a frictionless pulley. Assume that the horizontal surface is smooth. (a) What is the acceleration (in m/s²) of the hanging mass? (Enter the magnitude only.) Did you draw a free body diagram for each of the two masses and identify all the forces acting on them? m/s² (b) Determine the tension (in N) in the cord. (Enter the magnitude only.) Consider Newton's second law for either one of the two masses to find the tension. N
