Question

A block of mass m1 = 3.60 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 = 2.00 kg hanging vertically.

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

(b) What is the direction of the acceleration of m2?
m2 accelerates downwardsnot enough information    m2 accelerates upwards

(c) What is the magnitude of the tension in the cord?
 N
