A block of mass m1 on a rough, horizontal surface is connected to a second mass m2

Question:

A block of mass m1 on a rough, horizontal surface is connected to a second mass m2 by a light cord over a light frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. (`Light' means that we can neglect the mass of the cord and the mass of the pulley.) A force of magnitude F is applied to the mass m1 as shown, such that m1 moves to the right. The coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and the surface is μ. Derive a formula for the acceleration of the masses.
