Question

Two blocks of mass m1 = 4 ?? and m2 = 6 kg are connected by a rope that goes over a 
frictionless pulley and provides a tension T. m2 is accelerating upwards with an acceleration a and m1 is accelerating to the right with an acceleration a. m1 is being pulled to the right by a 
force F= 80 N that makes an angle 20∘ above the horizontal. 
a) What is a, the acceleration of the system? 
b) What is T, the tension on the rope connecting m1 and m2?
