If [tex]m_1 = 5.0 \ kg \ and \ m_2 = 4.0 \ kg[/tex], what is the acceleration of [tex]m_2[/tex]?
I think the following equations describing the situation are correct:
[tex]m_1a_1=T_1 - m_1g[/tex]
[tex]m_2a_2=T_2 - m_2g[/tex]
But I don't know how I can go about solving for [tex]a_2[/tex].
Is there a relationship between the two tensions, and the two accelerations?
