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.
A block with mass mb=7.75 kg is suspended on a string. You pull upwards on the string creating a tension force of magnitude TYb=79.2275 N. If the upward speed of the block is 2.25 m/s right now, then what is its speed 5.5 s later?
Consider a person standing on a scale in an elevator. If the elevator accelerates upwards with an acceleration of 1.27 m/s2 and the person has a mass of 79.2 kg, what would the scale read? HINT: you need to take into account the acceleration due to gravity, as well as that of the elevator.

Two skaters are on an icy pond (no friction). They have masses m1 = 65.0 kg and m2 = 80.0 kg. They are each holding one end of a rope. The heavier skater starts exerting a force of F = 125 N. The rope tautens so that it has a tension T. What is the acceleration of each skater, and what is the tension in the rope?
Three ropes are pulling a box. Rope 1 has a tension of 40.0 N and makes an angle of 30° with respect to the positive x-axis. Rope 2 has a tension of 80.0 N and makes an angle of 105° with respect to the positive x-axis.. With what tension and direction (with respect to the positive x -axis) should the third rope pull so that the object has an acceleration of zero? (Ignore any and all forces other than the ropes).
