What is the force of gravity acting on the sled? What is the normal force before the boy pulls on the sled? What about after? I hope these help.

I think I got it (this is using m2): Fg2= m*ag Fg2= 12kg* 9.8m/sec^2 Fg2= 117.6N Fnet= m*anet Fnet= 12kg*1.96m/sec^2 Fnet= 23.5N Fg2-Fnet= T 117.6N-23.5N=T T= 94.1N

@Bright Wang I have a free body diagram drawn on my paper. I have the anet part figured out, I created that equation correctly... Thanks for the helping me verify that. @Jegues I don't see how I can create two equations... Because tension is the same throughout the string wouldn't there only be...

This is incredibly simple, but i cannot remember the formula for tension, which is a show stopper. Homework Statement Simple pulley. Two masses attached with a string running over a frictionless wheel. m1 is 8kg and m2 is 12kg. I need to find acceleration and tension over the...
