If m=5 kg and M=8 kg, find the acceleration of the masses and the tension of the rope
"8g-T=8a\\\\\n T-g=5a"
Adding the two equations gives
"3g=13a\\\\\n\n\n\na=\\frac{3g}{13}\\\\\n\n\n\ng=9.8m\/s^2\\\\\na=\\frac{3\\times 9.8}{13}\\\\\na=2.26m\/s^2\\\\"
To get the Tension T
"T=5(g+a)\\\\\nT=5(9.8+2.26)\\\\\nT=60.3N"
