A block (mass m1) lying on a frictionless inclined plane

Chapter 19, Problem 63P

(choose chapter or problem)

(III) A block \(\text { (mass } m_{1} \text { ) } \) lying on a frictionless inclined plane is connected to a mass \(m_{2}\) by a massless cord passing over a pulley, as shown in Fig. 4–57.

(a) Determine a formula for the acceleration of the system of the two blocks in terms of

\(m_{1}, m_{2}, \theta \text { and } g\)

(b) What conditions apply to masses \(m_{1} \text { and } m_{2}\) for the acceleration to be in one direction (say, \(m_{1}\) down the plane), or in the opposite direction?
