$${T}={tension}\:{string}\:{around}\:{the}\:{pulley} \\ $$$${A}={acceleration}\:{of}\:{block}\:{M} \\ $$$${a}={acceleration}\:{of}\:{block}\:{m} \\ $$$${assume}\:{there}\:{is}\:{no}\:{friction}. \\ $$$${a}=\mathrm{2}{A} \\ $$$${a}=\frac{{T}}{{m}} \\ $$$${A}=\frac{{F}−\mathrm{2}{T}}{{M}} \\ $$$$\frac{{T}}{{m}}=\mathrm{2}×\frac{{F}−\mathrm{2}{T}}{{M}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{T}=\frac{\mathrm{2}{F}}{\mathrm{4}+\frac{{M}}{{m}}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{a}=\frac{\mathrm{2}{F}}{\mathrm{4}{m}+{M}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{A}=\frac{{F}}{\mathrm{4}{m}+{M}} \\ $$
