Problem P. 4520. (March 2013)

P. 4520. The bodies arranged as shown in the figure are at rest; m₁=1 kg, =30^o. The rope attached to the body of mass m₁ is horizontal.

a) Determine the magnitude of m₂.

b) Suppose that the rope which fixes the body of mass m₁ brakes. What is the acceleration of the bodies when they begin to move?
