physics.fisikastudycenter.com - another shortcut to pulleys physics mechanics. The common steps for this case you may find in another posts in this site. This figure represents the case of two blocks and two pulleys, frictionless.
You could find the accelerations of the blocks with these shortcuts:
| Block B acceleration | Accelerations relationship |
 |
 |
where
g = acceleration due to gravity
aA = block A acceleration
aB = block B acceleration
mA = block A mass
mB = block B mass
