Step 1
Basic Details
The acceleration of the system is the ratio of the total force to that of the total mass. The tension in string can be defined from the acceleration of the string.
Calculations
The mass m1 is more than m2 so the acceleration of the system would be downward along mass m1 and upward along mass m2.
