A rope is attached to an object with mass 8.5-kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope passes over a pulley, and a block with mass 5 kg is suspended from the other end. When the blocks are released, the tension in the rope is 11.6 newtons. What is the acceleration of either block? The pulley is frictionless and massless.

A 69.0 kg tightrope walker stands at the center of a rope. The rope supports are 10 m apart and the rope sags 11.0 ∘ at each end. The tightrope walker crouches down, then leaps straight up with an acceleration of 8.40 m/s2 to catch a passing trapeze. What is the tension in the rope as he jumps? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
