I'm afraid there is no automated way to plan this. You certainly can assign Resource 1 to 8 hours of work on Task 2 starting on Monday, May 8 and then drop the work for Resource 2 to 32 hours - but it is a manual intervention.
If you choose to go that route, split your screen to show the Task Form in the lower pane and change the format to "Schedule". Assign Resource 1 , enter 8 hours of work, and set the Scheduled start of the assignment to Monday. Then drop the work for Resource 2 and the duration should drop.
This method of course, assumes Resource 1 finishes Task 1 as scheduled.
If I want to play it a bit closer, I'd suggest keeping both resources as they are. On Friday you update the work on both tasks. Task 1 should be complete and task 2 should have 24 hours of actual work with 16 hours remaining. Ensure Task 2 is effort driven and then assign Resource 1. The remaining 16 hours of work will be split evenly (assuming equal assignment units) and the duration of the task will adjust automatically.
I hope this helps.
