u is not given. The problem in it's entirety is posted... I am struggling to find u, but think I can do the rest from there.
I thought about assuming u was zero, but that doesn't seem right either.
Homework Statement
Two blocks are connected by a rope that passes around two pulleys as indicated in the figure. (Attached)
a. Determine the tension in the rope.
b. Determine the acceleration of each block (Hint: The two blocks do not have the same acceleration).
The Attempt at a Solution
I...
I think, we set the T's equal , solve for a1 which will give us a2. I don't think the a's fall out when solving for the tension, but I think we can find the a's... I hope.
