Homework Statement
What is the acceleration of the 2.0 kg block across the frictionless table

Homework Equations
I know the acceleration is positive for one block and negative for the other.
F= ma , also tension in the string should be the same through out
The Attempt at a Solution
Okay. Well, I originally believed that there would be no acceleration. But i don't understand how there could be an acceleration. The answer says there is an acceleration of 3.27 m/s^2. How can a 1 kg accelerate a 2kg on a flat surface??
And the string is supposed attached to a wall, so how can this system even move.
Can someone help explain this problem and how to tackle it . thanks
