  1. Suppose, a = acceleration produced if m₁ and m₂ are tied together,
    F = 100 N
    Let a₁ and a₂ be the acceleration produced in m₁ and m₂, respectively.
    a₁ = 10 ms⁻², a₂ = 20 ms⁻² (given)
    Again m₁ = F/a₁ and m₂ = F/ a₂
    m₁ = 100/10 = 10 ms⁻²
    and m₂ = 100/20 = 5 ms⁻²
    m₁ + m₂ = 10 + 5 = 15
    So, a = F/m₁ + m₂ = 100/15 = 20/3
    = 6.67 ms⁻²
