The pulley of an ideal Atwood’s machine is given an upward acceleration a, as shown below. Find the acceleration of each mass and the tension in the string that connects them. Take the accelerations to be positive if they are pointing up. The speeds of the two blocks are not equal in this situation. (Use the following as necessary: a, m1, m2, and g for the acceleration due to gravity.)
