Two blocks, each weighing p, are kept in equilibrium on an inclined plane without friction. In terms of Standing angle of the inclined plane, determine the tension: a) the string connecting the two blocks; b) On the rope that connects block A to the wall, c) Calculate the magnitude of the force that the incline exerts on each block, d) Interpret your answers for the cases a = 0 and α = 90 °.
Drawing a free body diagram can help.

Can you draw FBD's for both the blocks separately?
I'll post the picture of the question, but it is in Portuguese ...
Two blocks, each weighing p, are kept in bal ¬ ance on an inclined plane without friction. In terms of Standing angle to the plane tilt ¬ swim, determine the tension: a) the string connecting the two blocks; b) On the rope that connects block A to the wall, c) Calculate the magnitude of the force that the incline exerts on each block, d) Interpret your answers for α = 0 and α = 90 ° cases.
Don't expect me to give you direct answers. Draw a FBD, label forces., write the equations. Tell me where you are finding it difficult.
I can not get this issue
he is asking you to draw the free body diagram of each block separately! do you know what a free body diagram is?
