Two blocks attached by a string (see figure) slide down a 17° incline. Block 1 has mass m1 = 0.88 kg and block 2 has mass m2 = 0.27 kg. In addition, the kinetic coefficients of friction between the blocks and the incline are 0.30 for block 1 and 0.20 for block 2.
(a) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks.
(b) Find the tension in the string.
