A block of mass m₁ = 39 kg on a horizontal surface is connected to a mass m₂ = 16.7 kg that hangs vertically as shown in the figure below. The two blocks are connected by a string of negligible mass passing over a frictionless pulley. Assume that the horizontal surface is smooth. m₂ (a) What is the acceleration (in m/s²) of the hanging mass? (Enter the magnitude only.) m/s² (b) Determine the tension (in N) in the cord. (Enter the magnitude only.) N
