Problem #1: Two masses, m₁ = 30.0 kg and m₂, = 10.0 kg are connected by a massless, ideal rope. When held in place, m₂ rests on a frictionless ramp of incline 0 = 30.0°, and m, hangs with rope over a pulley like in the image to the right. (a) If the masses are let go and allowed to move, what will be the magnitude of acceleration and direction for each? Label the axes/direction in the diagram or state clearly how you set them up in your response. (b) Consider if friction were present: what coefficient of static friction would be necessary to hold the masses in place, at rest? m₁
