Question
**Educational Content: Pulley System Dynamics**

A 12 kg load hangs from one end of a rope that passes over a small frictionless pulley. A 15 kg counterweight is suspended from the other end of the rope. The system is released from rest.

**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows a simple pulley system with two weights, 12 kg and 15 kg, hanging on either side of a pulley. The 15 kg weight is higher than the 12 kg weight, indicating that it will move downwards when released.

**Questions:**

a. Draw a free-body diagram for each object showing all applied forces on a relative scale. Next to each diagram show the direction of the acceleration of that object.

b. Find the acceleration of each mass.

c. What is the tension force in the rope?

d. What distance does the 12 kg load move in the first 3 seconds?

e. What is the velocity of the 15 kg mass at the end of 5 seconds?
