Answer to Problem 68AP
Introduction:
The acceleration produces on the masses or bodies due to the application of external forces on it. In the presence of external force the acceleration produced in the same direction as that of the force.
Explanation of Solution
Here the two masses are affected by tensions and those are the reasons for the acceleration of the two masses
The tensions those are affected on the strings are same. Thus the acceleration on the mass
