Consider another special case in which the inclined plane is vertical ( θ = π / 2 ). In this case, for what value of m1 would the acceleration of the two blocks be equal to zero?

First examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. Apply Newton's 2nd law, F=ma, to each body in your mind. Don't worry about which quantities are
given. Think about the forces on each body: How are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? Can you think of any special cases that you can solve
quickly now and use to test your understanding later?
One special case in this problem is if m2 = 0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a₁ = -gj
