    How Do You Calculate Tension in a String Connecting Two Masses on an Incline?

    I had a quiz today and part two of a question asked for the tension on a string. The problem was something along the lines of -- mass 1 = 6kg and mass 2 = 5kg. Mass 1 is attached to mass 2 by a weightless rope on an incline of 33 degrees. For mass 1 the kinetic friction is mu = 0.50; find the...
