Two boxes are connected to each other by a string as shown in the figure. The 10-N box slides without friction on the horizontal table surface. The pulley is ideal and the string has negligible mass. What is true about the tension T in the string? (HINT you can solve this without needing to solve for the tension exactly)

A 7.1 kg mass on a frictionless inclined surfaceis connected to a 2.4 kg mass. The pulley ismassless and frictionless, and the connectingstring is massless and does not stretch. The2.4 kg mass is acted upon by an upward forceof 8 N, and thus has a downward accelerationof only 4.8 m/s^2.The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. What is the tension in the connecting string? Answer in units of N. What is the angle θ? Answer in units of ◦
