To find the acceleration of the center of mass (ACM) of the blocks of masses \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) in an Atwood machine, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the system In an Atwood machine, there are two masses, \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \), connected by a string over a pulley. Given that \( m_1 > m_2 \), the heavier mass \( m_1 \) will accelerate downwards while \( m_2 \) will accelerate upwards. ### Step 2: Write down the forces acting on the masses The forces acting on the masses are: - For mass \( m_1 \): The downward force is \( m_1 g \) (weight) and the upward force is the tension \( T \). ...
