Ah okay, Thanks a lot I understand now

I seem to be getting ~-2ms^-2 as the acceleration and it should be positive?? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong I have Net F = ma Fbigblock = m*g*sin theta - (M*g*sin theta + 0.15 *M * g * cos theta) .'. a = m*g*sin theta - (M*g*sin theta + 0.15 *M * g * cos theta) divided by M But it...

This is what I've figured out so far but I don't think I'm getting the right answer

Homework Statement A large block is being dragged up a ramp by a block falling due to gravity over a pulley. The large block has a mass of 1400kg and the smaller block suspended has a mass of 530kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the large block and the ramp is 0.13. The ramp is...
