The apparatus shown above is known as Fletcher's Trolley. The apparatus is assumed to be without dissipative friction, and it is assumed that the string connecting the two blocks cannot stretch. The pulley and the string are assumed to be massless.
The mass of block 1 is 0.60 kg and the mass of block 2 is 0.40 kg. For the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, take the value g = 9.8 m/s2.
While the blocks are moving, what is the tension in the string? Enter your answer in newton below.
