Homework Statement
Two chain links are connected together and are suspended by a string. The mass of the top link, link#1 is 8kg, while the mass of the second/bottom link #2 is unknown. If an applied force on the string attached to link #1 of 216N[up], and the links experience an acceleration of 2m/s^2 [up] find the mass of link #2 and the force that link#2 exerts on link1
Homework Equations
The only thing I know is that the mass is equal to the mass of both of the chains put together, so the mass is greater than 8kg.
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure what equations I would have to use
