Answer:

m_2 = 23 kg

Explanation:

As we know that the tension in two strings are

T_2 = 111 N

T_4 = 222 N

now we have

F_{net} = ma

so we can say

(m_1 + m_2)a = T_2

(12 + m_2)a = 111

also we have

(m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4) a = T_4

(12 + m_2 + 15 + 20) a = 222

now divide two equations

\frac{222}{111} = \frac{47 + m_2}{12 + m_2}

2m_2 + 24 = 47 + m_2

m_2 = 23 kg
