Question
An Atwood machine consists of two masses hanging from the ends of a rope that passes over a pulley. Assume that the rope and pulley are massless and that there is no friction in the pulley.
If the masses have the values ?1=19.5 kg and ?2=12.5 kg, find the magnitude of their acceleration ? and the tension ? in the rope. Use ?=9.81 m/s2.
