5. An Atwood machine consists of two masses m₁ and m₂ (with m₁ > m₂) attached to the ends of a light string that passes over a light, frictionless pulley. When the masses are released, the mass m₁ is easily shown to accelerate down with an acceleration a = g M₁ M₂ m₁ + m₂ Suppose that m₁ and m₂ are measured as m₁ 98 ± 1.0 grams and m₂ = 73 + 0.90 grams. Derive an equation for the uncertainty in the expected acceleration in terms of the masses and their uncertainties, and then calculate a ±da for the given numbers. Please do not simplify your uncertainty equation. =
