A 2-pound weight is attached to a 3-pound weight by a rope that passes over an ideal pulley. The smaller weight hangs vertically, while the larger weight sits on a frictionless inclined ramp with angle θ. The rope  exerts a tension force T on both weights along the direction of the rope. Find the angle measure for θ that is needed to keep the larger weight from sliding down the ramp. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
