Question
Block A, with a mass of 13 kg, sits on an incline of 0.34 radians above the horizontal.
An attached (massless) string passes through a massless, frictionless pulley at the top of the incline as shown:

When the system is released from rest, block B accelerates downward at 2.4 m/s2.
What is the mass of block B?
Express your answer in kg, to at least one digit after the decimal point.
