Two objects having masses m1 and m2 are connected to each other as shown in the figure and are released from rest. m1 is twice as much as m2. There is no friction on the table surface or in the pulley. The masses of the pulley and the string connecting the objects are completely negligible. What must be true about the tension T in the string just after the objects are released?
