Homework Statement
Block A has a mass of 75 kg and is initially at rest on a frictionless inclined plane tilted at a 37 ° above the horizon. Block A is attached to a massless rope that is connected to the top of Block B by way of a massless frictionless pulley. Block B also has a mass of 75 kg and hangs vertically. Find the acceleration of the blocks. Also find the Tension, T, in the rope.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
When I solved it I found that a = 4 m/s^2, but I think I got it wrong. I used a=(mg-Fparallel)/B, but I may/most likely screwed up here. Any help would be greatly appreciated ;D. I also think that the acceleration might be 0, because it says that it is initially at rest, but that answer also doesn't feel right.
Thank you!
