Homework Statement



Three blocks on a frictionless surface are connected by massless strings, with M1 = 1.80 kg, M2 = 2.80 kg, and M3 = 3.70 kg. Due to the force F acting on M3, as shown, the system accelerates to the right. Given that T1 is 2.70 N, calculate T2


Homework Equations



m1(t1/m1+m2)


The Attempt at a Solution



I don't exactly know what to do...
