Consider the pulley system as shown in the picture. The blocks have a mass of 1.0 kg each. Suppose the pulley is massless and there is no friction. What is the tension in the rope when the blocks accelerate due to gravity only? For the force on the left mass we can write F₁ = mg-T=ma T= m(g-a) For the right mass this is F₂ = T = ma. From there we finally get mg-ma = ma - = 4.9 m Consider the pulley system as shown in the picture. The blocks have a mass of 1.0 kg each. Suppose the pulley is massless and there is no friction.
