Three masses are connected as shown in the figure below. The hanging blocks fall as the mass on the frictionless table accelerates to the right. Use this information to answer the next 4 questions. You should assume that the ropes and pulley are massless and the pulley is frictionless. (m1 = 3kg; m2 = 1kg; and m3 = 5kg). 1. What is the free body diagram for mass 2? 2. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of mass 1?
All please
