1. The problem statement, all variables, and given/known data
A block of mass m1 = 2.00kg is attached to a rope of length L1 = 0.50m, which is fixed at one end to a table. The mass moves in a horizontal circle supported by a frictionless table. A second block of mass m2 = 1.25kg is attached to the first mass by rope of length L2 = 0.75m. The mass also moves in a circle, as shown in the image. If the period of the motion is T = 15s, find the tension in each rope. (Assume all ropes are massless).

Fc = FT
Fc = 4π2mr/T2
I assume that there are more forces acting on m1 than m2. Although unsure if tension can act on both sides of an object in the same direction.
