I have a simple question about the Double Atwood machine.
I am able to follow the solution but one thing makes no sense to me. The accelerations for block A and block B are:
Why aren't these equal? If they aren't, doesn't that mean the rope stretches? Or is this just an effect of assuming a massless rope?
