danjs · Answer

You need to find the net force at both A and B using Force = mass x acceleration

That PDF file is an old homework problem I did for a class. The systems there are solved for equilibrium; Net Force = 0. You need to use the same principle to find the accelerations of each mass, F=m*a

@DanJS,I calculated and I got $$-a_C=2a_L$$  is this relation true?
