8. A block (mass m1) lying on a frictionless inclined plane is connected to a mass m2 by a massless cord passing over a pulley. (a) Determine a formula for the acceleration of the system of the two blocks in terms of m1, m2, Theta, and g. 1. (b ) What conditions apply to masses m1, and m2 for the acceleration to be in one direction (say m1 down the plan) or in the opposite direction ?
