Two blocks are arranged as shown. The pulley can be considered to be massless, and friction is negligible. M1 is three times more massive than M2.
a. How are the magnitudes of acceleration of blocks 1 and 2 relate?
b. What is the magnitude of acceleration on block 1 after the system is released from rest?
c. If the system is released from rest, how far will M1 travel in 0.306 s?
