### Physics Problem: Frictionless Ramp and Pulley System

**Problem Statement:**
In the diagram below, \( m_1 \) is moving down the frictionless ramp. The pulley is massless and frictionless.
1. Draw a Free Body Diagram.
2. What is the tension in the rope?
3. What is the acceleration of \( m_1 \)?

**Diagram Explanation:**
- The system includes:
  - A block \( m_1 = 3 \, \text{kg} \) on a frictionless ramp inclined at \( 30^\circ \).
  - A block \( m_2 = 1 \, \text{kg} \) hanging vertically.
  - A tension force \( T \) in the rope connecting the two masses over the pulley.

**Forces on \( m_1 \):**
- \( m_1g \sin \theta \): Component of gravitational force pulling \( m_1 \) down the ramp.
- \( m_1g \cos \theta \): Component of gravitational force perpendicular to the ramp.
- \( T \): Tension in the rope opposing the motion of \( m_1 \) down the ramp.
- \( n \): Normal force perpendicular to the ramp.

**Forces on \( m_2 \):**
- \( m_2g \): Gravitational force pulling \( m_2 \) downwards.
- \( T \): Tension in the rope opposing \( m_2 \)'s descent.

**Equations:**
- For \( m_1 \):
  \[
  m_1g \sin \theta - T = m_1a
  \]
- For \( m_2 \):
  \[
  T - m_2g = -m_2a
  \]

**Note:** \( g \) represents the acceleration due to gravity, typically \( 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

The challenge is to solve for tension \( T \) and acceleration \( a \) of the masses in the system.
