Infinite Atwood Machine

Classical Mechanics Level 3

Consider the infinite Atwood’s machine shown below. A string passes over each pulley, with one end attached to a mass and the other end attached to another pulley. All the masses are equal to m, and all the pulleys and strings are massless. The masses are held fixed and then simultaneously released. What is the acceleration of the top mass?
