 (a) the acceleration of the blocks;

A large block on an inclined surface is connected to a small block by a cord, as shown. The masses of the larger and smaller block are 33.0 kg and 26.4 kg, respectively. The angle of the incline is q = 21.0O and the coefficient of kinetic friction for the large block and the surface is 0.190. Find:

  (a) the acceleration of the blocks;

  (b) the tension in the cord.

Enter your answer to Part (a), in m/s2, in the box below.
