The figure shows a container of mass m₁ = 4.0 kg connected to a block of mass m₂ by a cord looped around a frictionless pulley. The cord and pulley have negligible mass. When the container is released from rest, it accelerates at 2.2 m/s² across the horizontal frictionless surface. What are (a) the tension in the cord and (b) mass m₂? (a) Number (b) Number Units Units 77₁ M₂
