Figure shows two blocks connected by a cord (of negligible mass) that passes over a frictionless pulley (also of negligible mass). The arrangement is known as Atwood's machine. One block has mass m1 = 1.30 kg; the other has mass m2 = 2.80 kg. What are?

(a) The magnitude of the blocks' acceleration and

(b) The tension in the cord?
