A system consists of three identical masses m1, m2,and m3 are connected by a string
passing over a pulley P. The mass m1 hangs freely and m2and m3are on a rough
horizontal table (the coefficient of friction=μ). The pulley is frictionless and of
negligible mass. Find the downward acceleration of mass m1
