Two blocks are connected by a string as shown in the figure. The smooth inclined surface makes an angle 350 with the horizontal. The block on the incline has mass (M) = 5.7 kg. Find the mass (m) of the hanging block that will cause the system to be in equilibrium. (The pulley is assumed to be ideal) [g= 9.8 m/s2] T T M = 5.7 kg m Mgsin35" 35 mg Mgcos35 Mg [Hint: EFx = 0 for block of mass (M) & EFy = 0 for block of mass (m)] O a. 3.2 kg O b. 6.2 kg O c. 4.2 kg O d. 5.2 kg
