Two masses are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley, as shown below. The masses are m1 = 6.00 kg, and m2 = 7.00 kg. If the coefficient of friction between the incline and m2 is 0.200 and the angle of the incline is 35.0°, find (a) acceleration of the two masses, (b) the tension in the string, and (c) the speed of each mass 2.00 s after being released from rest. Also, determine (d) what m2 would have to be in order to have the system accelerate in the direction opposite of what you found in (a). Assume m1 stays at 6.00 kg.
