A block of mass m1 = 3.40 kg on a frictionless plane inclined at an angle θ = 26.6° is connected by a cord over a massless, frictionless pulley to a second block of mass m2 = 2.36 kg hanging vertically (see the figure). (a) What is the acceleration of the hanging block (choose the positive direction down)? (b) What is the tension in the cord?

A block of mass m1 = 6.55 kg on a frictionless plane inclined at an angle θ = 28.7° is connected by a cord over a massless, frictionless pulley to a second block of mass m2 = 2.48 kg hanging vertically (Fig. 5-52). (a) What is the acceleration of the hanging block (choose the positive direction up)? (b) What is the tension in the cord?

A block of mass $m_{1}=3.70 \mathrm{kg}$ on a frictionless plane inclined at angle $\theta=30.0^{\circ}$ is connected by a cord over a massless, frictionless pulley to a second block of mass $m_{2}=2.30 \mathrm{kg}$ (Fig. $5-52$ ). What are (a) the mangitude of the acceleration of each block, (b) the direction of the acceleration of the hanging block, and (c) the tension in the cord?
