bump~ Anyone? Its due tomorrow morning i just want to make sure my answer is correct before i turn it in >.<

Mass does not effect acceleration. Hint: its a very simple problem.

Okay, i think i see what i did wrong. After working on it for the past few hours i realized that the tension (T2) of mass 2 and the tension (T3) of mass 3 and their acceleration is irrelevant to this problem. I realized we do not need it to find a1. Here's what i came up with as my final...

Hmm i am not sure what you are trying to say DarylMBCP, but this is what i came up with after trying to rework this problem this morning: Known: m1, m2, m3, g Unknown: a1, a2, a3, T1, T2, T3 (T=Tension, a= acceleration, m=mass) System 1: m1 x: 0 y: T1 + W = m1a1 System 2: m2 x: 0 y: T2...

Edit: Fixed the link for the picture. It should be working now. I was wondring why no one could answer the question lol.

Homework Statement The problems asks: According to the above sketch, find accelartion (a1) of mass1? Note that the cables and pulleys are ideal (massless and frictionless). Everything started at rest until the pulleys lock were realsed. m1, m2, m3 have all different masses...
