Two blocks of masses \(2\ \text{kg}\) and \(4\ \text{kg}\) are connected vertically by a light, inextensible string, as shown in the figure. The upper block is pulled upward by another string, causing both blocks to accelerate upward at \(2\ \text{m/s}^2\). If \(T\) and \(T’\) are the tensions in the upper and lower strings, respectively, the values of \(T\) and \(T’\) are:

                   

1. \(T = 70.8\ \text{N}\ \text{and}\ T’ = 47.2\ \text{N}\)
2. \(T = 58.8\ \text{N}\ \text{and}\ T’ = 47.2\ \text{N}\)
3. \(T = 70.8\ \text{N}\ \text{and}\ T’ = 58.8\ \text{N}\)
4. \(T = 70.8\ \text{N}\ \text{and}\ T’ = 40.2\ \text{N}\)
