An object of mass m1 hangs from a string that passes over a very light fixed pulley P1 as shown. The string connects to a second very light pulley P2. A second string passes around this pulley with one end attached to a wall and the other to an object of mass m2 on a frictionless, horizontal table. (a) If a1 and a2 are the accelerations of m1 and m2, respectively, what is the relation between these accelerations? Find expressions for (b) the tensions in thestrings and (c) the accelerations a1 and a2 in terms of the masses m1 and m2, and g.
For V1=V1x^(unit vector) and V2=V2x^, it is V1>0 and V2<0. Accelerations are a1=a1x^, a2=a2x^and a3=a3y^. ropes and pulleys are massless and frictionless. Solve the problem using the coordinate system given in the figure.
