The discussion focuses on a stationary equilibrium setup involving two crayon boxes with different masses and three cords. Box A, weighing 11.0 kg, is positioned on a frictionless ramp at a 30-degree angle, while Box B, weighing 7.0 kg, hangs from a cord. The tension forces in the cords are denoted as TA, TB, and TC, with specific equations provided to analyze their relationships and angles. It is emphasized that the cord connected to Box A is parallel to the ramp, and the supporting cord creates an angle necessary for equilibrium. The need for clarity in the angles used in the equations is highlighted to ensure accurate calculations.

A stationary arrangement of two crayon boxes and three cords. Box A has a mass of 11.0kg and is on a ramp at angle θ=30.0 degrees; box B has a mass of 7.00 kg and hangs on a cord. The cord connected to Box A is parallel to the ramp which is frictionless (a) What is the tension in the upper cord, and (b) what angle does that cord make with the horizontal?



Let TA = tension force in the cord attached to block A.
TB = tension force in the cord attached to block B.
TC = tension force in the cord attached to ceiling.
φ = angle of cord attached to ceiling with the horizontal
θ = angle of ramp = 30 degrees

1.Ta-magsin
2.Tb-mbgsin=0
3.Tcsin=magsin+mbg
4.Tccos=magsin
5=T^2c(cos^2+sin^2)

that's what I know so far (on what equations to use for each step)

I think you need to modify your diagram. The cord connected to A should be parallel to the ramp. The cord connected to B is vertical, but far enough to the right so that B is not in contact with the ramp (you're OK with this one) and the cord supporting the whole thing is NOT vertical. It makes whatever angle is needed to produce equilibrium. You need to have angles after your cos and sin in your equations so you know which angle you are talking about.
 
(a) The polarisation pattern is elliptical with maximum (1,1) and minimum (-1,-1), and anticlockwise in direction. (b) I know the solution is a quarter-wave plate oriented π/4, and half-wave plate at π/16, but don't understand how to reach there. I've obtained the polarisation vector (cos π/8, isin π/8) so far. I can't find much online guidance or textbook material working through this topic, so I'd appreciate any help I can get. Also, if anyone could let me know where I can get more...
