An Atwood's machine (see the figure below) consists of two masses: one of mass 2.33 kg and the other of mass 6.96 kg. When released from rest, what is the acceleration of the system? (Enter the magnitude in m/s2.) A string passes over a pulley which is suspended from a horizontal surface. A circular object of mass m1 and a rectangular object of mass m2 are, respectively, attached to the left and right ends of the string. An arrow labeled vector a1 beside the circular object points upward while another arrow also labeled vector a2 is beside the rectangular object and points downward.
