Question

Two blocks are connected by a string on a pulley. One block is on an incline, and the other is hanging. The smooth inclined surface makes an angle of 35 ∘ with the horizontal, and the block on the incline has a mass of 5.7 kg. The mass of the hanging block is m = 4.0kg .

Find the magnitude of the hanging block's acceleration.

I'm not sure how to set up the problem. Help?
How about drawing the diagram of the objects and the free body diagram?
Then you can apply Newton's second law to find the acceleration.
