I understand it, but only from a mathematical point of view, since there is an upward acceleration on the smaller block, and since weight acts downwards ,then the upward acceleration must be due to tension. I also know that the net force acting on the system would be m2g-m1g...and that this...

Ok guys, i just don't seem to know anything about tension, i thought that it would always equal the weight that is suspended from the rope...But that does not seem to be the case...and also i don't get the issue of its direction. Anyways, suppose we have an atwood machine and two unequal masses...
