Question

Two blocks are connected by a string over a frictionless,
massless pulley such that one is resting on
an inclined plane and the other is hanging over the
top edge of the plane. The inclined plane is inclined at an angle of 37 degrees. The
hanging block has a mass of 16.0 kg, and the one on
the plane has a mass of 8.0 kg. The coefficient of
kinetic friction between the block and the inclined
plane is 0.23. The blocks are released from rest.

What is the acceleration of the blocks?
The acceleration of the blocks is 2.45 m/s^2.
