Homework Statement
Determine the force of gravity acting on the masses (we want to end up with 9.8m/s2---> My situation : A rope with 2 different masses hanging on each side, is held by a pulley. The heavier mass falls towards one end. (teacher said something about the mass having to cancel out afterwards) or so.
Homework Equations
d=v1t +1/2at2
I think we can use Newton's second law, F=ma
t=0.9s
d=0.36m
v1=0m/s
The Attempt at a Solution
I used d=v1t +1/2at2 and got acceleration which came out to be .889m/s2
I was wondering what steps I can take now
