You pull a rope oriented at a 37° angle above the horizontal. The other end of the rope is attached to the front of the first of two wagons that have the same 48-kg mass. The rope exerts a force of magnitude T1 on the first wagon. The wagons are connected by a second horizontal rope that exerts a force of magnitude T2 on the second wagon. The acceleration of the wagons is 2.0 m/s.
