Heh, figures it's way simpler than I was trying. I was trying to add the Tension of the first string over the pulley along with the weight of m1, then subtracting the weight of m2 and m3.
Many thanks!
Homework Statement
The string connecting the m1 and the m2 passes over a light frictionless pulley. Given m1 = 6.51kg, m2 = 7.48kg, m3 = 9.75kg. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2.
1) Find the downward acceleration of m2 mass. Answer in units of m/s2
2) Find the tension in the string...
