Three objects are connected by light strings as shown in Figure P4.62. The string connecting the m1 = 5.00 kg mass and the m2 = 4.00 kg mass passes over a light frictionless pulley.
a) find the acceleration of each object and
b) the tension in the two strings

prob 2.A 3kg object hangs at one end of a rope that is attached to a the ceiling of a railroad car. When the car accelerates to the right, the rope makes an angle of 4 degrees with the vertical. Find the acceleration of the car.
