"Two blocks lie on a triangle as shown in the figure. Block m has a mass of 8 kg and block P has a mass of 21 kg. Assume the inclines and pulleys are frictionless find the tension in the string." The two blocks are on opposite side of an isosceles triangle with the two lower angles of the triangle measuring 35 degrees each. The blocks hang from a pulley sticking out of the top of the triangle.
