A block of mass m₁=3.70 kg on a frictionless inclined plane of angle 30.0° is connected by a cord over a massless, frictionless pulley to a second block of mass m₂=2.30 kg hanging vertically. What are (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of each block and (b) the direction of the acceleration of m₂? (c) What is the tension in the cord?
