Calculate Tension in rope pulled up a hill

Homework Statement

Determine the tension in the rope during the acceleration of a 5 kg mass along a 30 degree slope.
coeffecient of kinetic friction is 0.26

The correct answer is (68 N along the ramp), but I can't seem to get that answer.

Where's the rope? Can you describe the situation more clearly, or attach a diagram?

Any thoughts?

You should maybe start by looking at the forces on each of the masses.

I think I've figured it out.

T = (ma) + F(pulling back down slope) + F(friction)
T = 67.5344 N rounded to 68 N
