The figure shows two blocks connected by a cord (of negligible mass) that passes over a frictionless pulley (also of negligible mass). The arrangement is known as Atwood's machine. Block 1 has mass m1 = 2.20 kg; block 2 has mass m2 = 4.60 kg. What are (a) the magnitude of the blocks’ acceleration and (b) the tension in the cord?
