(25 points) Two masses, m, = 5 kg and m₂ = 4 kg, are situated on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected by a rope. A force, F = 18 N, is exerted on one of the masses as shown below. 111 111 2 (25 points) Two masses, m, = 5 kg and m₂ = 4 kg, are situated on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected by a rope.
