Homework Statement
Atwood's Machine. A load of bricks with mass m_1 = 15.0 kg hangs from one end of a rope that passes over a small, frictionless pulley. A counterweight of mass m_2 = 28.0 kg is suspended from the other end of the rope, as shown in the figure. The system is released from rest.
Homework Equations
F=ma
I really don't know what to do for this one. So far, I just calculated the weight of each masses.
Mass 1 Weight = -147N (15)(-9.8)
Mass 2 Weight = -274.4N (28)(-9.8)
