Two blocks are connected by a massless rope as shown below. The mass of the block on the table is \( 4.2 \mathrm{~kg} \) and the hanging mass is \( 1.3 \mathrm{~kg} \). The table is frictionless, and the pulley is frictionless and massless. (a) Find the acceleration of the blocks. (b) Find the tension in the rope. (c) Find the speed with which the hanging mass hits the floor if it starts from rest and is initially located \( 1.4 \mathrm{~m} \) from the floor. a. The acceleration of the blocks is \( \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \) b. The tension in the rope is N. c. The block \( m_{2} \) hits the floor with speed \( \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \)
