A). We set our x axis along the direction of the inclined plane and our y axis perpendicular to the plane. We get
Fnet,x = F T m 2 g sin Fnet,y = N m 2 gco s

B) m 2 has zero acceleration in the y direction, so

Fnet,y = N m 2 gco s = 0 So, N = m 2 gco s = 17.0N C) Using Newtons 2nd Law,

For m1 , Fnet,x = T = m1a a =

T m1 m2 T m1

For m 2 , F T m 2 g sin = m 2 a = T= F m 2 g sin = 3.40N 1 + m 2 / m1

D) The acceleration of m 2 has the same magnitude as m1 :


a= F m 2 g sin T = = 3.40m / s 2 m1 m1 + m 2

E) After switching m1 and m 2 , we get F m1g sin = 5.03m / s 2 a' = m 2 + m1
