Block \(m_1\) on a frictionless tabletop connected by a string over a pulley to hanging block \(m_2\).
Block \(m_1\) on a frictionless tabletop connected by a string over a pulley to hanging block \(m_2\).
A block of mass \(m_1\) rests on a frictionless horizontal tabletop and is connected to a light, inextensible string. The string passes over a frictionless pulley of negligible mass at the edge of the tabletop and connects to a hanging block of mass \(m_2\). The system is released from rest. In terms of \(m_1\), \(m_2\), and the acceleration due to gravity \(g\), which of the following expressions represents the magnitude of the tension in the string while the blocks are accelerating?
