**Physics Problem: Connected Objects with Pulley System**

An object with mass \( m_1 = 5.40 \, \text{kg} \), rests on a frictionless horizontal table and is connected to a cable that passes over a pulley and is then fastened to a hanging object with mass \( m_2 = 10.6 \, \text{kg} \), as shown in the figure.

### Diagram Description:
- The diagram shows a horizontal table with object \( m_1 \) on its surface.
- A pulley is attached to the edge of the table, with a cable running over it.
- Object \( m_2 \) is hanging vertically, attached to the other end of the cable.

### Problem Statements:

#### (a) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of each object.
- \( a_1 = \) [blank space for input] \, m/s\(^2\)

*Feedback:* Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100%.

- \( a_2 = \) [blank space for input] \, m/s\(^2\)

#### (b) Find the tension in the cable.
- Tension = \( 35.046 \, \text{N} \) (Correct)

This exercise involves calculating the acceleration of a system of two objects connected via a pulley and determining the tension in the connecting cable.

A metal seat with mass m1 = 16 kg hangs from one end of a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley attached to the ceiling. A spring scale hangs from the other end of the rope. A girl with mass m2 = 34 kg sitting on the hung seat is pulling the spring scale. The total system is in static equilibrium state. Question:(1) how much does the scale reads(in Newton)? (2). what is the support force of the seat to the girl? (hint 1: write down all the forces exerted on the chair and on the girl separately and demand the net force for each is zero. hint 2: Newton’s third law says that if there is a force exerted on A by B, then there must be another force exerted on B by A with the same magnitude and in opposite direction)
