On a frictionless plane inclined at angle 303. The box is connected via a cord of negligible mass to a box of laundered money (mass m2 " 2.0 kg) on a frictionless plane inclined at angle u2 " 603. The pulley is frictionless and has negligible mass. What is the tension in the cord?

Answer:

 T = 1.73 kg

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law for this balance problem

We draw a coordinate system with the x axis parallel to the plane and the Y axis perpendicular

The only force we have to lay down is the weight (W)

       Wx = W sin θ

       Wy = W cos θ

       Wx = 2.0 ain 60  

       Wx = 1.73 kg

       Wy = 2.0 cos 60

       Wy = 1.0 kg

Y Axis

      N-Wy = 0

X axis

      T- Wx = 0

      T = Wx

      T = 1.73 kg
