A 16.0 kg load of bricks (m1) hangs from one end of a rope that passes over a small, frictionless pulley, called an Atwood’s machine. A 28.6 kg counterweight (m2) is suspended from the other end of the rope, as shown in (Figure 1). The system is released from rest.

  1. What is the magnitude of the upward acceleration of the load of bricks? (Express your answer in meters per second.)
  2. What is the tension in the rope while the load is moving? (Express your answer in newtons.)
