Physics

Two masses are connected by a light string, which passes over africtionless pulley as shown in fig .3 on a the chalkboard. Theinclined plane is rough. When m1=10kg , m2 = 3.0 kg and theta =60degrees, the 10 kg mass moves down the inclined plane andaccelerates down the nclined pane at a rate of 2.0m/s^2. Find a)the tension in the string. b)the coefficient of kinetic frictionbetween the 10 kg mass and the inclined plane.
