Consider the crates in Problem 12 (Fig. P4.12). Assume there is no friction between m1and the table. 

(a) Sketch all the forces on the crates. Include a coordinate system. 

(b) Determine the components of the forces along the coordinate axes.

(c) Write Newton€™s second law for motion along both coordinate directions. 

(d) Solve the equations from part (c) to find the acceleration of the crates and the tension in the string.
