Box on a table connected by cable(dynamic)

[MikeMai]

Homework Statement

A box on a friction less table is connected by a cable to a second, hanging 10.0kg box. The cable has no mass, does not stretch and the pulley is friction less
.
m2 accelerates 2.0m/s/s downwards

Homework Equations

F= ma

The Attempt at a Solution

Fnet=m1a
T= M1a

Fnet=m2a
Fg-T = m2a

Is the acceleration for both equation the same, 2.0m/s/s?

 

[rl.bhat]

Yes. Two masses are connected by a single cable. Hence they mast have the same acceleration.
