Tension in a rope on frictionless pulley

get it? if you wanted the acceleration instead of the tension, you would just solve for T in one equation, and substitute that for T in the other equation... that will give you all you need to find the acceleration

Thanks, very much appreciated guys. It makes near complete sense now!

Wish me luck on my exam, and now that I know about you guys, I imagine I'll be seeing you in the new year! ;)
