Question

A cord passing over a pulley connects two masses, as shown, where m₁ = 5.00 kg and m₂ = 8.30 kg. Assume the pulley and

surfaces are frictionless, and the cord is massless and does not stretch. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded

intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.)

(a) What is the acceleration of each block? (Enter the magnitude in m/s².)

(b) What is the tension in the cord (in N)?
