Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 51.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the to...
a) Calculate the acceleration of the system if the mass of one block is twice the other.
b) Determine the tension in the rope connecting the two blocks.
c) Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the inclined surfaces and the blocks.
d) Analyze the forces acting on each block separately.
