An object of mass M = 1,114 g is free to move along a horizontal, frictionless surface. This object is further connected to a second object with a mass of m = 811 g by means of a massless string that extends around a massless, frictionless pulley. Find the tension of the massless string.

pulling force mg
acceleration= mg/(M+m)

tension= ma

revise that to tension=Ma, it is the mass on the table * acceleration
