Homework Statement
In the figure below, assume that the slope is frictionless and that the two blocks are connected by a massless cord. Assume the following:
θ1 = 37°
θ2 = 45°
m1=3kg
m2=0.86kg.
What is the tension in the cord?.
Homework Equations
F=ma , w=mg, trig
The Attempt at a Solution
i know that you need to find acceleration. Which i did (a=3.04) and i found it by ((m1)(m2)g)/(m1+m2)
you'll have to use trig functions but I'm not sure which one to use.
And wouldn't you set it equal to each other?
