Two blocks, M1 and M2, are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless pulley. M1 has a mass of 2.25 kg and is on an incline of angle θ1 = 45.5∘ that has a coefficient of kinetic friction μ1 = 0.205. M2 has a mass of 6.25 kg and is on an incline of angle θ2 = 35.5∘ that has a coefficient of kinetic friction μ2 = 0.105. The figure illustrates the configuration. The two-block system is in motion, with block M2 sliding down the ramp. Find the magnitude a2 of the acceleration of block M2. a2 = m/s2
