Problem 3 - Newton's 2nd Law A block of

m_{1} = 3.30 k g

is placed on a frictionless inclined plane which makes an angle

θ = 31^{\circ}

with the horizontal line. The block of mass

m_{1}

is connected to a second block of mass

m_{2} = 1.93 k g

by means of a cord of negligible mass and a frictionless pulley. a) Draw the free body diagram for each block. (5 points) b) Calculate the acceleration of the masses. (5 points) c) Calculate the tension of the cord. (5 points)
