We choose UP to be the positive direction. he tension force in the cord is found fro nlyzin the two hnin sses. Notice tht the se tension force is pplied to ech ss. Write Newton s second lw for ech of the sses. Since the sses re joined toether by the cord, their ccelertions will hve the se nitude but opposite directions. hus.

56. ecuse the pulleys re ssless, the net force on the ust be 0. ecuse the cords re ssless, the tension will be the se t both ends of the cords. Use the free-body dirs to write Newton s second lw for ech ss. We re usin the se pproch tken in proble 47, where we tke the direction of ccelertion to be positive in the direction of otion of the object. We ssue tht is fllin, is fllin reltive to its pulley, nd is risin reltive to its pulley. lso note tht if the ccelertion of reltive to the pulley bove it is R, then. hen, the R ccelertion of is, since is in the opposite R direction of. : R : R : pulley: 0 Re-write this syste s three equtions in three unknowns,,.
