Two blocks M1 and M2 are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless pulley as shown in the figure. M1 has a mass of 8.25 kg and rests on an incline of 73.5°. M2 rests on an incline of 15.5°. Find the mass of block M2 so that the system is in equilibrium (i.e. not accelerating). All surfaces are frictionless.
