A block of mass m1 = 4.40 kg on a frictionless inclined plane of angle 30.0° is connected by a cord over a massless, frictionless pulley to a second block of mass m2 = 3.00 kg hanging vertically.


Figure 5-41

    (a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of each block?
    1.06 m/s2 (m1)
    1.06 m/s2 (m2)

    (b) What is the direction of the acceleration of m2?
        m2 accelerates downwards

    (c) What is the tension in the cord?
