Question

Two blocks of mass
m1 = 1.70 kg
and
m2 = 5.20 kg
are connected by a massless cord passing over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure below, with
θ = 41.0°.
The coefficient of kinetic friction between block 1 and the horizontal surface is 0.400, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between block 2 and the inclined surface is 0.330.



(b) What is the acceleration of the system when it is released from rest?


(c) What is the tension in the cord connecting the blocks?
