### Mechanics Problem: Acceleration, Tension, and Speed Calculation#### Problem StatementTwo blocks are connected by a massless rope as shown below. The mass of the block on the table (\(m_1\)) is 4.5 kg and the hanging mass (\(m_2\)) is 1.5 kg. The table and the pulley are frictionless.![Diagram of two blocks connected by a rope over a pulley. m1 is on the table, m2 is hanging. a1 and a2 are indicated as the accelerations of m1 and m2 respectively.]The diagram shows:- \(m_1\) (block on the table) connected to the rope, which passes over a pulley and connects to \(m_2\) (hanging block).- \(a_1\) indicates the acceleration of \(m_1\) on the table.- \(a_2\) indicates the acceleration of \(m_2\) downward.#### Questions(a) **Find the acceleration (in m/s²) of the system.

A pulley has a string holding two masses which both hang straight down. If the mass on the left is 2.2 kg and the mass right is 3.8 kg, find the tension in the string. Your Answer:
An Atwood machine consists of two masses hanging from the ends of a rope that passes over a pulley. Assume that the rope and pulley are massless and that there is no friction in the pulley. If the masses have the values ?1=19.5 kg and ?2=12.5 kg, find the magnitude of their acceleration ? and the tension ? in the rope. Use ?=9.81 m/s2.
