The figure shows a container of mass m1 = 4.9 kg connected to a block of mass m2 by a cord looped around a frictionless pulley. The cord and pulley have negligible mass. When the container is released from rest, it accelerates at 0.63 m/s² across the horizontal frictionless surface. What are (a) the tension in the cord and (b) mass m2?
