B Answer: neither of these. Mass A is accelerating, so the net force on A must be non-zero Likewise for mass B.

B Answer: neither of these. Mass A is accelerating, so the net force on A must be non-zero Likewise for mass B. CTA-1. An Atwood's machine is a pulley with two masses connected by a string as shown. The mass of object A, m A, is twice the mass of object B, m B. The tension T in the string on the left, above mass
