Two blocks, M1 and M2, are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless pulley as shown in the figure. M2, which has a mass of 25.0 kg, rests on a long ramp of angle ?=25.0∘. Friction can be ignored in this problem. Determine the mass ?1 of block M1 for which the two blocks are in equilibrium (no acceleration). If the actual mass of M1 is 5.00 kg and the system is allowed to move, what is the acceleration ? of the two blocks? A positive acceleration corresponds to M2 moving up the incline. What distance ? does block M2 move in 2.00 s?
