Two blocks are connected by a string over a frictionless, masslesspulley such that one is resting on an inclined plane the other ishanging over the top edge of the plane as shown. The hangingblack has a mass of 16.0 kg and the one on the plane has a mass of8.0 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and theinclined plane is 0.23. The blocks are released from rest.a. What is the acceleration of the blocks? (Hint: think aboutacceleration of the system)b. What is the tension in the string connecting the blocks
