Draw a FBD. Find the FT and then plug and chug into W = F x d

@mathman No, I mean by calculations, not by visual. Say you're given the mass of each block, the kinetic/static friction coefficient, and the angle of the incline. What would you do to calculate if it's moving or not, so you can know whether to use static or kinetic friction?

Say that there's a ramp with a block on it, with a string attached to the block and to a massless, frictionless pulley at the top of the ramp, and the pulley connecting the string to another block. What if both of the masses are really close and there is friction on the incline but you can't...

I derived a = F/m from F = ma. Just think about it. All we're doing is tripling the net force. You can put numbers in for examples and see what happens.

a = F/m All you're doing is tripling the Net Force. So, what would happen?
