The figure shows an object of mass ?1 = 1.0 kg on an inclined frictionless surface. The angle of theinclined surface is ? = 25 with respect to the horizontal. The object of mass ?1 is connected by anideal string over an ideal pulley to a second object of mass ?2 = 2.05 kg on a horizontal frictionlesssurface below the overhang that is formed by the inclined surface. Furthermore, an external force ofmagnitude ???? = 10 N is exerted on the object with a mass ?1. We observe both objects accelerate. i. Draw separate free-body diagrams of all the forces acting on the two objects ii. Calculate the tension in the string connecting the two objects.
