A frictionless pulley of negligible mass is hung from the ceiling using a rope, also of negligible mass. Two masses, m1 and m2 (m1 < m2) are connected to the rope over the pulley. The masses are free to drop. The magnitude of the tension Ttop is ____ the sum of the weights W1 = m1g and W2 = m2g. 
A) less than
B) equal to
C) greater than
D) unable to tell
E) depends on T1 and T2.
