A light rope is attached to a block with mass 4.00 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope passes over a frictionless, massless pulley, and a block with mass $m$ is suspended from the other end. When the blocks are released, the tension in the rope is 15.0 N. (a) Draw two free-body diagrams: one for each block. (b) What is the acceleration of either block? (c) Find $m$. (d) How does the tension compare to the weight of the hanging block?
