Question

Figure below shows a block (mass mA = 10.0 Kg) on a horizontal surface connected by a thin cord that passes over a pulley to a second block (mB = 30.0 Kg) which hangs vertically. Ignore masses of the cord and the frictionless pulley. A constant Tension of 2.0 N is being applied on the mass A by means of a string. The horizontal surface is frictionless. The acceleration of the mass B is, motion T = 2.0 N mA mB motion 5.4 m/s2 7.3 m/s2 9.7 m/s2 10.2 m/s2
