Isn't the net force 48 because both the 30 N and the 18 N of tension are moving in an upward direction. 48 = M(3.2-9.8)? *edit: never mind I found the solution.. Thanks so Much!"

Homework Statement Two masses are joined together by a massless, inextensible string. A vertical force of 30 N applied to the upper mass gives the system a constant upward acceleration of 3.2 m/s^2. If the tension in the connecting string is 18 N, what is the smaller of two masses? If the...
