  1. Le A be the angle of inclination (4 degrees).
    T = string tension force.
    Write the vertical and horizontal Newton's second law equations
    W = M g = T cos A
    M a = T sin A
    Eliminate T

    a/g = tan A = 0.0699

  2. mg=TcosA
    ma=TsinA
    a/g=sinA/cosA
    a/g=tanA
    =0.0699
    a=g*0.0699=9.81*0.0699= 0.6857m/s^2
