An object of mass m1 hangs from a string that passes over a very light fixed pulley P1 as shown in the figure below. 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? (Use a_1 for a1, m_1 for m1, and m_2 for m2 as appropriate.)a2 =
(b) Find expressions for the tensions in the strings in terms of the masses m1 and m2, and g. (Use g, m_1 for m1, and m_2 for m2 as appropriate.)
T1 =
T2 =
(c) Find expressions for the accelerations a1 and a2 in terms of the masses m1 and m2 and g. (Use g, m_1 for m1, and m_2 for m2 as appropriate.)
a1 =
a2 =
