6. Connected masses (shown below) are initially held at rest, and then released so they can move freely. Calculate the acceleration of mass \( m_{2} \) after the release. Is it directed up or down? Assume there is no friction on the surface of the inclined plane or in the pulley. \[ m_{1}=0.850 \mathrm{~kg}, m_{2}=0.220 \mathrm{~kg} . \quad a=2.56 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \text { (up) } \] 6.
