  1. mass 1 accelerates downward at a
    so mass 2 accelerates up at a

    tension = T

    mass 1:
    m g - T = m a so 3 g - T = 3 a

    mass 2:
    T - mg = m a so T = 2 (g+a)

    substitute T in mass 1 equation
    3 g - 2(g+a) = 3 a
    g - 2 a = 3 a
    a = g/5 = 9.81/5 = 1.962

    You could also use the total mass of 5 and total force of (3-2)g
