    Calculating tension of moving object

    It seems i have misunderstood tension, thanks for the help, I'll remember to draw free body diagrams next times

    Calculating tension of moving object

    okay I did not realize tension on both ends can be different, but the question asks for the tension of the cable, would it be the total force acting on the calbe from both ends?

    Calculating tension of moving object

    I would guess it is 5*10 + 3*10 = 80N but the system is accelerating

    Calculating tension of moving object

    So two masses M1 and M2, are attached to each end of a cable, and the cable was hung over a pulley. M1 is 5kg M2 is 3kg ΣF=20N ΣM=8N The system would be accelerating at 2.5ms-2 but how would you calculate the tension of the cable? (g=10, cable is massless, pulley is frictionless)
