The figure shows two blocks connected by a cord (of negligible mass) that passes over a frictionless pulley (also
of negligible mass). The arrangement is known as Atwood's machine. Block 1 has mass m₁ = 0.6 kg; block 2 has
mass m₂ = 2.6 kg. What are (a) the magnitude of the blocks' acceleration and (b) the tension in the cord?
