Thanks arildno :) Using Newton's second law for the two masses and the movable pulley I now have 3 equations but with 4 variables (T1, T2, a1, a2) and I need to find a relationship between the two accelerations. But something's still not right ... Here is my reasoning: Make the...

Could somebody please help me with this problem? I am very confused with calculations for multiple pulleys, especially those with movable ones... http://www.geocities.com/cdy12/pulleys.jpg I am supposed to find the tension forces T1 and T2, as well as the acceleration of both masses. I...
