A block with a mass of 250g is lying on a frictionless plane that is inclined by 30° above the horizontal. A string is attached to this block. The string runs over a frictionless, massless pulley at the top of the incline and is attached to a second block that is suspended in the air. The mass of this block is 100g. What is the acceleration of the second block?
