Find the tension in connecting string between two blocks

Reference no: EM13666580

Two blocks of masses 20 kilogram and 8 kilogram are connected together by a light string and rest on a frictionless level surface. Attached to the 8 kilogram mass is another light string, which a person uses to pull both blocks horizontally. If the two block system accelerates 0.5 m/s², find the tension in the connecting string between two blocks?
