A 15 kg block is on a ramp which is inclined at 20 degrees above the horizontal. It's connected by a string to a 19kg mass which hangs over the top edge of the ramp. With no frictional forces taken into account, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the 19kg block?

  1. weight component down ramp = 15 g sin 20 Newtons
    pull up ramp = 19 g Newtons
    net F = (19 - 15 sin 20) g
    mass accelerated = 15+19 = 34 kg
    so
    a = (19 - 15 sin 20) (9.81) /34
