Problem

A light, inextensible string passes over a frictionless pulley. One end is attached to a 6.0 kg6.0\,\text{kg} block that rests on a frictionless horizontal surface; the other end supports a 4.0 kg4.0\,\text{kg} block hanging freely. (a) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the system. (b) Determine the tension in the string.
