Question

In experiment 1, a cart (M1) is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface and attached by a rope to a vertical hanging mass (m1). In experiment2, the mass of the cart is doubled (M2=2M1). What relationship must exist between the two hanging-masses to ensure that the system acceleration is the same between the two experiments?

Answer choices:
a) m2=m1
b) m2=2m1    
c) Impossible to determine without numerical values for each mass.
d) m2=0.5m1
