1. Draw separate free-body diagrams for each of the masses from Figure 6.1. Assume that m> m- m mz Figure 6.1 2. Using the free-body diagrams for each mass, m, and m2, develop an equation for the acceleration of the system, in terms of m, m2 and g. Do this by using Newton's second law in the vertical direction to analyze each mass separately. This will give two equations that can be solved for acceleration. Hint: You may find that you have two equations and two unknowns. Recall how to use substitution method to "cancel" one of the unknown terms. B. Develop an equation for the tension on the string. Use the substitution method. == Given m = 3.0 kg and m = 2.5 kg. Calculate the acceleration of the system and the tension on the string. 1.
