Homework Statement
Block ##1## and block ##2##, with masses ##m_1## and ##m_2##, are connected by a system of massless, inextensible ropes and massless pulleys as shown above.
Solve for the acceleration of block ##2## in terms of ##m_1, m_2## and ##g##. Assume that ”down” is positive. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the following: ##g, m_1##, and ##m_2##.
Relevant Equations
##\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a}##
