Two blocks are attached to a light string. Block A (mA=7.9kg) is at rest on a frictionless table. Block B (mB=1.36kg) hangs off the edge of the table, as shown. Both blocks are released from rest.
Using the single-system approach, what is the acceleration of the system?
a=          ms2
 
Block A is on a table and block B is hanging off the table on a rope connecting the two blocks
*Round your answer to the nearest thousandth if necessary.
