उत्तर
The free-body diagrams for both the bodies are shown below: 
T + ma =mg ...(i)
and T = ma ...(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii), we get:
ma + ma = mg
⇒ 2ma = g
\[\Rightarrow a = \frac{g}{2} = \frac{10}{5} = 5 m/ s^2\]
From equation (ii),
T = ma = 5 N

Suppose you are running fast in a field and suddenly find a snake in front of you. You stop quickly. Which force is responsible for your deceleration?
A person says that he measured the acceleration of a particle to be non-zero even though no force was acting on the particle.
A person is standing on a weighing machine placed on the floor of an elevator. The elevator starts going up with some acceleration, moves with uniform velocity for a while and finally decelerates to stop. The maximum and the minimum weights recorded are 72 kg and 60 kg, respectively. Assuming that the magnitudes of acceleration and deceleration are the same, find (a) the true weight of the person and (b) the magnitude of the acceleration. Take g = 9.9 m/s2.
