Calculate the magnitude of their acceleration

Reference no: EM13107364

A device known as Atwood\'s machine consists of two masses hanging from the ends of a vertical rope that passes over a pulley. Assume the rope and pulley are massless and there is no friction in the pulley. When the masses are of 20.1 kg and 10.3 kg, calculate the magnitude of their acceleration, a, and the tension in the rope, T. Take g = 9.81 m/s2.
