The question states:
Find the acceleration of the masses shown, given that m1 = 1.0 kg, m2 = 2.0 kg and m3 = 3.0 kg
m1 and m2 are on a table top connected by a rope, m3 is hanging off of the table connected to m2 by a rope and a pully.
I have drawn free body diagrams for all of the masses, and have tried
T1 - W3 = - M3 A
T1 = (3)(9.8) - (3)(A)
I am unsure on how to find the tension, it is all that I need to find the acceleration.
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to find the tension?
