Homework Statement
Two blocks are connected by a string, as shown in the figure . The smooth inclined surface makes an angle of 35degrees with the horizontal, and the block on the incline has a mass of 5.7kg. The mass of the hanging block is m = 2.8 kg. Find the magnitude of the hanging block's acceleration.
Homework Equations
a=m(hanging)g-Fg(plane)sintheta+m(plane)gcostheta/m(both)
The Attempt at a Solution
a=(9.8m/s^2)[2.8kg-(5.7kg*sin35degrees)+(5.7kg*cos35degrees)]/(5.7kg+2.8kg)
