A 15-kg block rests on a level, frictionless surface and is attached by a light string to a 10-kg hanging mass where the string passes over a massless frictionless pulley. If g = 9.8 m/s2, what is the tension in the connecting string?
 a. 65 N
  c. 59 N
  b. 17 N
  d. 37 N

Question 2

 a. 2.5 m/s2
  c. 7.8 m/s2
  b. 6.5 m/s2
  d. 9.8 m/s2
