A block with the mass m1 = 5 kg on a flat surface is connected by a string to a mass m2=20 kg, which is hanging over the edge (see figure). Assuming that frictional forces may be neglected, what is the magnitude of acceleration of the mass m1 when the other mass (m2) is released? m1 m2 A block with the mass m1 = 5 kg on a flat surface is connected by a string to a mass m2=20 kg, which is hanging over the edge (see figure).
