Two blocks are connected by a string, as shown in the figure. The smooth inclined surface makes an angle of θ = 38° with the horizontal, and the block on the incline has a mass m1 = 5.3 kg. Find the mass m2 of the hanging block that will cause the system to be in equilibrium. (The pulley is assumed to be ideal.) At what angle to the vertical will the tension in the string be twice the weight of the tassel?
