Two men with masses m1=60 kg and m2=50 kg are climbing on a rope passing over an ideal pulley. If accelerations of m1 and m2 with respect to the rope are a1=4m/s2 and a2=2m/s2 upwards, then tension in the rope is (in Newtons) .

Solution
Equation from F.B.D T - m1g=m1(4−QR) T - m2g=m2(2+QR) QR is acceleration of rope. Solving eqations we get ⇒aR=2411m/s2 & T = 709.09 N
