Consider two masses m1 and m2 connected by a thin string. Assume the following values: m1 = 4.51 kg and m2 = 1.00 kg. Ignore friction and mass of the string.
There must be more to the problem than that. What are the masses doing? Just sitting there? Is there a slope? gravity? a pulley?

Alright! Let's consider two masses, m1 and m2, connected by a thin string. We'll assume certain values for these masses: m1 = 4.51 kg and m2 = 1.00 kg. We'll also ignore any effects of friction and the mass of the string itself.
Now, what would you like to know or calculate based on this setup?
