so frikin confused tried too many times, can anyone help me out?

Block 1, of mass m_1, is connected over an ideal (massless and frictionless) pulley to block 2, of mass m_2, as shown. Assume that the blocks accelerate as shown with an acceleration of magnitude a and that the coefficient of kinetic friction between block 2 and the plane is mu.
Find the ratio of the masses m_1/m_2.
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables a, mu, and theta, as well as the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity g.
