Two blocks of masses m1 = 4.5 kg and m2 = 6.5 kg resting on a frictionless surface are connected by a light inextensible cord as shown in the figure below. A horizontal force F of 33.0 N directed to the right is applied to the block with m1 as shown and an additional horizontal force of 11.0 N directed to the left is applied to the block with mass m2. Find the (a) acceleration of the masses and (b) the tension T in the rope.
