    Mass measures the amount of matter an object contains and it is a fundamental property of an object. It remains constant irrespective of the object's location, it is a scalar quantity. The SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). On the other hand, weight is a vector quantity and refers to the force exerted on an object due to gravity. The SI unit of weight is the Newton (N).Mathematically, the relation between mass and weight is given by W=mg, W=weight, m= mass, and g=acceleration due to gravity. The g's value varies based on the location. Therefore, while the mass of an object remains constant, the weight can change depending on the gra

For 2 kg block

T – 2g sin37 = 2a        . (i)

For 4 kg block

4g – 2T =  4 a 2

2g – T = a                    . (ii)

T = (2g – a)

2g – a – 2g ×  3 5  = 2a

3a = 2g ×  2 5

a = 4 g 1 5
