A block m1 rests on the table. A light rope is attached to it and runs over a pulley. The other end of the rope is attached to a second block. The two blocks are said to be coupled. The block m2 exerts a force due to its weight, which causes the system (two blocks and a string) to accelerate. Draw a free body diagram for each block.
