this is system not quite in equilibrium, since the downward motion of m2g will create an acceleration for the whole system, but a2 will be 4 times smaller than a1.

I got hang up on this all weekend. 1)would it be ƩFy=(m2)g-(T2)=(m2)(a2) ? 2)would (T2)-2(T1)=0 ? since T2 exerted the force from (m2)(g2) to the pulley (P1) which divided the tension by 2. 3)but the T2 got divided by 2 by the pulley P2 which directly attached with m2. here is the diagram, it...

Homework Statement Here is a picture that I putted together(see attached picture). m1= 0.235 kg N = m1g = 2.303 N m2= 0.350 kg m2g = 3.430 N fk= 0.590 N By measurement, I confirmed (d1)=4(d2). Therefore, (v1)=4(v2), a1= 4(a2). Homework Equations ƩFx=(T1)-fk=(m1)(a1)...
