Two connected blocks with one sliding horizontally and one hanging vertically
Two masses, \(m_1\) and \(m_2\), are connected by a cord and arranged as shown in the diagram, with \(m_1\) sliding along a frictionless surface and \(m_2\) hanging from a light, frictionless pulley. What would be the mass of the falling mass, \(m_2\), if both the sliding mass, \(m_1\), and the tension, \(T\), in the cord were known?
