t1 tension in string connecting Mc
t1 tension in string connecting Ma and Mb
##
m_c:\\
m_c g - T_1 = m_c a_c\\
##
i considered pseudo for acting on masses b and a from a non inertial frame of reference
hence in that frame of reference mass b will go down with aobserved and mass a will go up with a observed
##
m_a,m_b:\\
a_{observed} = \frac{(m_b - m_a)a_c}{m_b + m_a}\\
a_b = a_c - \frac{(m_b - m_a)a_c}{m_b + m_a}\\
a_a = a_c + \frac{(m_b - m_a)a_c}{m_b + m_a}\\
T_2 = m_a a_a = m_b a_b\\
2 T_2 = T_1\\

is this correct i have feeling something has gone wrong
but how could i solve without pseudo forces i feel very uncomfortable having to switch frames of references
