### Problem Description

Two blocks are connected by a (massless) string that runs over a (massless, frictionless) pulley, as illustrated in the diagram. Assume there is no friction between block 1 and the surface of the incline. The system setup is as follows:

- Block 1 is on a 40° incline.
- Block 2 hangs vertically.

### Given

- Mass of Block 1 (\(m_1\)) = 3.9 kg
- Mass of Block 2 (\(m_2\)) = 5.9 kg

### Question

What is the tension in the string?

Express your answer in Newtons (N), to at least one digit after the decimal point.

### Diagram Explanation

The diagram shows:

- Block 1 (labeled as "1") on a 40° incline.
- Block 2 (labeled as "2") hanging vertically off the other end of the pulley.
- A triangle representing the inclined plane.
- A string that runs over a pulley connecting both blocks.
