Thank you for the quick reply :) So if I understood you correctly the tension for mass 2 is: T-.36mg sin(40) = m2a Then do I solve for T in both equations and add them together to get the magnitude? Same for the acceleration, but if I remember correctly acceleration is the same for the...

Homework Statement What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the system, and what is the tension on the string. The setup is there is 2 masses m1 and m2 which are connected by a string. One is on top of a flat horizontal plane, while the other is on an inclined plane with angle 40...
