Two blocks, of weights 3.6 N and 7.2 N, are connected by a massless string and slide down a 30° inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lighter block and the plane is 0.10, and the coefficient between the heavier block and the plane is 0.20. If the lighter block leads, find the tension in the taut string. 0,21 N O 0,31 N O 0,41 N 011 N
