An object of mass m1= 5kg placed on a frictionless, horizontal table is connected to a string that passes over a pulley and then is fastened to a hanging object of mass m2= 8kg as shown in figure. Calculate, (a) the acceleration (a) of the objects (b) the tension (T) in the string.
(a) The acceleration of the objects (in m/s2) is
Answer for part 1 (b) The tension in the string (in Newtons) is
