Question
### Exhibit 5-2: Suspended Blocks in an Elevator

A 4.00 kg block is suspended from the roof of an elevator. A 2.00 kg block is suspended from the 4.00 kg block. The tensions in strings 1 and 2 are labeled \(\vec{T}_1\) and \(\vec{T}_2\), respectively.

#### Diagram Explanation
- The diagram shows two blocks connected by strings inside an elevator.
- Block 1, which has a mass of 4.00 kg, is suspended from the roof of the elevator.
- Block 2, which has a mass of 2.00 kg, is suspended from Block 1.
- The string connecting Block 1 to the roof has a tension labeled \(\vec{T}_1\).
- The string connecting Block 1 and Block 2 has a tension labeled \(\vec{T}_2\).

#### Problem Statement
Use this exhibit to answer the following question(s):

When the elevator accelerates upwards with an acceleration of 2.20 m/s², calculate the magnitudes of \(\vec{T}_1\) and \(\vec{T}_2\).

Please provide detailed steps and formulas used to find the tension forces in the strings.
