idk it wont upload for a reason but its a table and it has an 8 kg block on top, a string attached to a 2 kg block hanging off the left side of the table in my diagram the Os r the blocks and the lines connecting is the string of course theres a pulley in the corner which i didnt draw... and the

---------------O<-- 8kg

i ---------------------------------------------- <--Table

i

i

O < -- 2kg

Explanation / Answer

2g - T = 2a 8a = T a = 2.5m/s^2
