Figure shows two masses hanging from a string running over a pulley. Such a device can be used to measure the acceleration of gravity; it is then called Atwood's machine. Suppose that an experimenter using masses m₁ = 400.0 g and m₂ = 402.0 g finds that the masses move a distance of 0.50 m in 6.4 s starting from rest. What value of g does this imply? Assume the pulley is massless. my m2
