Given the following information, how would you find the magnitude of the acceleration of the system. Express youranswer in terms of known quantities such as m1, m2, theta, k, xs, x0, and g. "A ball of mass m1 and block of mass m2 are attached by a lightweight cord that passes over a frictionless pulley of negligible mass, as shown in the figure below. The block lies on a smooth plane inclined at an angle 'theta'. The ball is attached to a spring whose spring constant is k and equilibrium position x0. The spring is then stretched so it measures a length xs. You may use the fact that the force due to a spring is opposite the stretch and equal to −kΔxstretch. The system is then released. You can assume that the acceleration due to gravity is given as g, and use the consistent coordinate system specified for each object."

At a post office, a parcel that is an m kg box slides down a ramp inclined at an angle θ with the horizontal, as shown.
