There is this question that I feel like it should be easy, but I can't get the right answer. There is a box sitting on a horizontal surface attached to another box that is sitting on a "decline" The horizontal box is bigger than the other one. a horizontal force is applied to the horizontal box. how do i find the tension in the system? (all surfaces, strings, pulleys, etc, are ideal). I understand that the tension is the same in both strings and that the acceleration (if there is any) is the same, but I don't know how to use that because I can only do the pulley systems that are 90 degrees to each other!what happens when the acceleration and tension are in components?
