Question: Two objects with mass m; = 200 g and m2 = 300 g connected by a massless string lie on a smooth horizontal surface. Suppose

Two objects with mass m; = 200 g and m2 = 300 g connected by a massless string lie on a smooth horizontal surface. Suppose the friction between the blocks and the surface is negligible. Calculate: 


(a) Acceleration obtained by these masses if there is a force with magnitude F =1 N acting on mi parallel to the surface. 


(b) Tension force on the connected string between these two masses.
