In the figure shown a cord of tension T joins m, and m2 (m2 > m,). Assume the cord is light, taut and un-stretchable. A force F acting on m2 makes the system accelerate forward. What is the direction (if any) of the tension force T acting on m2? T. m2 F my O None, since T does not act on m2, only on m, OTIS directed forward (to the right). OTis directed backward (to the left).
