Question

A block with mass m = 5.00 kg slides down a surface inclined 36.9∘ to the horizontal (the figure (Figure 1)). The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.24. A string attached to the block is wrapped around a flywheel on a fixed axis at O. The flywheel has mass 6.25 kg and moment of inertia 0.500 kg⋅m2 with respect to the axis of rotation. The string pulls without slipping at a perpendicular distance of 0.400 m from that axis.
sounds like a Rube Goldberg setup.
oh, and what was the question? ...
(a) What is the acceleration of the block down the plant?
(b) What is the tension in the string?
