5. A bucket with mass m2 and a block with mass m1 are hung on a pulley system. Find the magnitude of the acceleration with which the bucket and the block are moving and the magnitude of the tension force T by which the rope is stressed. Ignore the masses of the pulley system and the rope. The bucket moves up and the block moves down.

T = 3m2m1gm1+m2

T = m2m1gm1+m2

T = 3m2m1m1+4m2

T = 3m2m1gm1+4m2
