    A system consists of three masses $m_1 , m_2$ and $m_3$ connected by a string passing over a pulley $P.$ The mass $m_1$ hangs freely and $m_2$ and $m_3$ are on a rough horizontal table $($the coefficient of friction $= \mu ).$ The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The downward acceleration of mass $m_1$ is $(Assume\, m = m_2 = m_3 = m)$
