Too much work to put, but I pretty much know how to solve it, just need clarification. I almost got the right answer, was off by just a tad.

Can you just explain the forces. I got them mixed up. I am confused about the forces in the y direction on m1 and the forces in the x direction on m1.

Like what are the components in the x and y of the force on each mass.
