Solution

The question seems to be incomplete as there is no diagram or further information provided. However, if we consider a typical physics problem where two identical masses are attached by a light string over a pulley, the system is usually in equilibrium or moving at a constant speed if no external force is applied.

If an external force is applied, the acceleration would depend on the magnitude of this force. If the force is equal to the gravitational force (weight of the masses), the acceleration would be equal to g. If the force is less than the gravitational force, the acceleration would be less than g. If the force is greater than the gravitational force, the acceleration would be greater than g.

Without additional information about the forces acting on the system, it's impossible to determine the exact acceleration. Therefore, the answer is "with an acceleration that cannot be determined without additional information."
