Q1) Two blocks are connected by a massless spring with spring constant k = 218 N/m. The mass of the lower block is m1= 1.58 kg, and the mass of the upper block is m2 =1.82 kg. They are placed on an inclined plane with an angle 0 = 40.3 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lower block on the surface of the inclined plane is u1 = 0.154 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the upper block on the surface of the inclined plane is u2 = 0.354. After a while (i.e., when the spring is stretched a constant amount) the blocks move together with the same acceleration. What is the magnitude of this acceleration? m2 k mi
