Two blocks are connected by a massless rope. The rope passes over an ideal (frictionless and massless) pulley such that one block with mass m1=14 kg is on a horizontal table and the other block with mass m2 = 9.5 kb hangs vertically. Both blocks experience gravity and the tension force, T. Use the coordinate system specified in the diagram.
(attached below)
a. assuming friction forces are negligible, write expression, using only the variables provided, for the acceleration that the block of mass m1 experiences in the x-direction. Your answer should involve the tension, T.
b. under the same assumptions, write expression for the accelerations, a2, the block of mass m2 experiences in the y-direction. Your answer should be in terms of the tension, T and m2.
c. Carefully consider how the accelerations a1 and a2 are related. Solve for the magnitude of the acceleration, a1, of the block of mass m1, in meters per square second.
d. Find the magnitude of the tension in the rope, T, in newtons.
