How to find tension on string


Discuss the below:

Q1) Block A of mass m1 on a smooth frictionless surface being pulled to the right by the force of gravity on block B with mass m2 by means of the attached string. Assume no friction anywhere in the system. Assuming all units are mks, the force exerted by the gravity that is effective in moving block A is equal to:

1) m1  3) m1 + m2 5) m2g

2) m2  4) m1g  6) (m1 + m2) g

Explain in detail how the correct choice(s) are obtained.

Q2) Find the tension (stretching force) on the string while the system is accelerating.
