Assume the ramp in the figure below is frictionless. If the blocks are released from rest, does the 10 kg block slide up the ramp or down the ramp? What is the magnitude of its acceleration? (Remember that you do not need to use the same coordinate system for both free-body diagrams.) 10 kg 5.0 kg 40°
