  1. parallel plane: mgsin(39.5) - .330N = ma

    perpendicular plane: N - mgcos(39.5) = 0 <== because it is not accelerating perpendicular the plane

    so N = mgcos(39.5)

    therefore, parallel plane: mgsin(39.5) - .330(mgcos(39.5)) = ma
    m's cancel: gsin(39.5) - .33gcos(39.5) = a
    a = 3.74 m/s^2
