A load of bricks with mass = 15.2 hangs from one end of a rope that passes over

Question

A load of bricks with mass = 15.2 hangs from one end of a rope that passes over a small, frictionless pulley. A counterweight of mass = 29.0 is suspended from the other end of the rope, as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) The system is released from rest. Use = 9.80 for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

Part A
What is the magnitude of the upward acceleration of the load of bricks?


Part B
What is the tension in the rope while the load is moving?
