Question

A classroom demonstration is done with an Atwood machine. The masses are m1 = 1.0 kg and m2 = 1.20 kg. If the larger mass descends a distance of 2.0 m from rest in 2.1168 s, what is the acceleration of gravity at that place? (Ignore the effects of pulley mass and friction.)

Please show work.
