Solution Summary

This solution calculates the acceleration and mass of an object by taking into account gravity and tension.

Solution Preview

The following equation can be used to calculate the acceleration that the block experiences:
y = v0 * t + 0.5 * a * t^2.
Since the block starts at rest we know that ...
