Homework Statement
In the following situation (see attachment) both pulleys and the string have zero mass. If [tex] m_{2} > m_{1} [/tex] we would expect a net force and therefore an acceleration in the direction of the net force. But if pulley 2, which is moveable, has no mass the sum of the forces acting on it is zero. How does this affect the acceleration of the blocks (which I would expect to have same acceleration - ideal string etc.)?
