Two masses are connected by a rope which runs over a pulley, as shown below. The blue block has mass M and the red block has mass m. The blue block is heavier, M < m. Please see the picture below. Part 1) A normal force acts on the blue block a. True b. False Part 2) Define up as the positive direction for both blocks. Which of the following statement is true once the blocks ar released? a. Both blocks will have a positive acceleration
