When the system starts moving ,the 10kg mass goes downwards pull the 3kg mass to the right. In the same time, the 2kg mass is pulled to the left. But basically I don't know why each box will move with different accelerations.

I can do the free body diagram for entire system and for individual box. It means I can do (a) and (b) But I can't do the next step to calculate (c) or (d) Is the acceleration is the same for two boxes and calculated by (T2- total friction forces of two boxes)/(m1+m2) ? How to find T1? T1 -...

Consider the figure below where the coefficient of kinetic friction between the m1= 2.0-kg and the m2 = 3.0-kg blocks is 0.30. The hanging mass is given to be m3 =10.0-kg and the horizontal surface supporting the blocks along with the pulleys are...
