Answer:

[tex]a=\frac{mBg-mAgSin\theta}{mA+mB}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given two mass on an incline code [tex]mA[/tex] and [tex]mB[/tex] and an angle of inclination [tex]\theta[/tex]. [tex]g[/tex]. Assume that [tex]mA[/tex] is the weight being pulled up and [tex]mB[/tex] the hanging weight.

-The equations of motion from Newton's Second Law are:

[tex]mBg-T=mBa[/tex] where a is the acceleration.

#Substituting for [tex]T[/tex] (tension) gives:

[tex]mBg-mAsin\theta-mAa=mBa[/tex]

#and solving for [tex]a:[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{mBg-mAgSin\theta}{mA+mB}[/tex] which is the system's acceleration.
