Discuss how the acceleration of the system changes as you increase the mass on one side while decreasing the mass on the other. is the magnitude of the acceleration increases, decreases or stays the same? -the heavier side will have a greater weight force (mg) acting on it, thus, equating to a greater acceleration.
