Two bodies of masses m1 and m2 are connected by along inextensible cord of length L.The combination is allowed to fall freely towards to the earth (mass me), the direction of the cord being always radial. Find (a) the tension in the cord, and (b) the accelerations of m1 and m2. Does the cord ever become slack? (Neglect gravitational attraction between m1 and m2)

A) There won't be any tension in the cord = 0.
B) As they are freely falling object their acceleration is g = 10m/s².
C) there won't be any slacks because they both fall together irrespective of their masses and no pulling forces with each other.

what is tension and acceleration equal to???
is it ok now? is my answer clear and correct
tell the procedure ppls
draw a free body diagram for the objects . In the string there won't be any tension because no pulling force. etc.so no tension.
they are freely falling . the acceleration is just the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 or 10 m/s.constant.
