Two objects, with masses m 1 ) = 1.65 kg and m 2 = 3.22 kg, attached by a massless rod parallel to the incline on which both slide, as shown in Fig. travel down the plane with m1 trailing m 2 . The angle of the incline θ = 29.5° The co efficient of kinetic friction between m 1 and the incline is μ 1 = 0.226; between m 2 and the incline the corresponding coefficient is μ 2 = 0.127. Compute (a) the common acceleration of the two objects and (b) the tension in the rod. (c) What are the answers to (a) and (b) if m 2 trails m 1 ?
