A 7.1 kg mass on a frictionless inclined surfaceis connected to a 2.4 kg mass. The pulley ismassless and frictionless, and the connectingstring is massless and does not stretch. The2.4 kg mass is acted upon by an upward forceof 8 N, and thus has a downward accelerationof only 4.8 m/s^2.The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. What is the tension in the connecting string?

A cord passing over a pulley connects two masses, as shown, where m1 = 3.60 kg and m2 = 7.10 kg. The system accelerates with a magnitude of 0.99 m/s2. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the masses and the incline is the same for both masses. Assume the pulley is frictionless, and the cord is massless.
