Two masses, m1=1.65 kg and m2=3.30 kg, attached by a massless rod parallel to the incline plane on which both slide, travel down along the plane with m1 trailing m2. The angle of the incline is theta=35 degrees. The coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and the incline is µ1 = 0.226. That between m2 and the incline is µ2=0.226 (yes, µ1 and µ2 are the same). Compute (a) the tension in the rod and (b) the common acceleration of the two masses
