Find the tension in the rope connecting the two masses

Reference no: EM13314030

A rope and two masses are suspended from the ceiling of an elevator which is accelerating downward at 2.8 m/s^2. If each of the masses is 3.7 kg, find the tension in the rope connecting the two masses. I know the answer is 25.9 N but I need to know how they got this answer.
