Estimate the magnitude of the acceleration of each object

Reference no: EM13528968

An object with mass m1 = 3.20 kg, rests on a frictionless horizontal table and is connected to a cable that passes over a pulley and is then fastened to a hanging object with mass m2 = 11.2 kg, as shown in the figure.

(a) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of each object.

a1 = m/s2

a2 = m/s2

(b) Find the tension in the cable.
