5. A block of mass m hangs from a massless rope. The rope passes over a massless pulley, which is fixed to the top of a ramp inclined at angle 0. The other end of the rope is attached to a block of mass M which slides along the ramp. Find the acceleration of the system and the tension in the rope if the coefficient of kinetic friction is µ. (For definiteness, assume that mass M moves down the ramp.) M u - m Once you have an answer, consider the special case where 0=90°. Can you see why this is the same expression as the solution to the Atwood's machine problem?
