Two blocks of masses M, and M, are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless pulley as shown in the figure. M2, which has a mass of 19.5 kg, rests on a long ramp of angle 0 = 41.5°. Friction can be ignored in this problem. M, Find the value of the mass M for which the two blocks are in equilibrium (i.e., not accelerating). M1 Figure is not to scale.
