Two boxes are attached with a massless string that is connected via a frictionless and massless pulley. Box 1 has a mass of 6.1 kg and rests on a frictionless table top. Box 2 is released and both blocks begin to accelerate at 7.8 m/s². Assuming this table is on Planet X with g = 32.7 m/s², what is the mass of Box 2 in kg? M₁ M₂
