Two objects have a string between them with tension T2 with m1 = 3.2 kg on top and m2 = 5.3 kg on the bottom. Another string is tied to the top mass and is pulling up with a force T1 = 115 N. Gravity is pulling down on both masses. Obviously both masses will have the same acceleration a upward. What is the value of a? Now that you know the acceleration, what is value of the tension T2?
