Atwood experiment: If the system with loaded with masses is released from rest, what quantity in the kinematic equation could be eliminated? For this case, Solve the kinematic equation for acceleration

Expert Solution
Step 1

Let m1 and m2 be the mass hanged on two sides .

T be the tension acting on the massless string 

Let a be the acceleration of the object, Both object are connected ,hence their magnitude of  acceleration will be same   

Step 2
