Question

Transcribed Image Text:Three objects are connected by
light strings as shown in Figure
P4.78. The string connecting the
4.00-kg object and the 5.00-kg 5.00 kg
object passes over a light friction-
less pulley. Determine (a) the
acceleration of each object and (b)
the tension in the two strings.
