The 15 kg block in the figure slides down a ramp with the coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.1. The angle of incline with respect to horizontal is 50∘ (see figure). The 4 kg block hangs from the same rope and is accelerating upwards. The pulley is frictionless and has no mass. Find: (a) the magnitude of the tension (in N) in the rope; (b) the magnitude of the normal force (in N) acting on the 15 kg block; (c) the magnitude of the friction force (in N) between the ramp and 15 kg block; (d) the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s2 ) of the 15 kg block.
