A system consists of three masses 
, and 
are connected by a string passing over a pulley P. The mass 
hangs freely, while masses 
and 
are placed on a rough horizontal table (the coefficient of friction 
). The pulley is frictionless and is of negligible mass. The downward acceleration of mass 
is
