Question
**Problem Statement:**

A block of mass \( m_1 = 3.70 \, \text{kg} \) on a frictionless inclined plane of angle \( 30.0^\circ \) is connected by a cord over a massless, frictionless pulley to a second block of mass \( m_2 = 2.30 \, \text{kg} \) hanging vertically. 

**Questions:**

(a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of each block?

(b) What is the direction of the acceleration of \( m_2 \)?

(c) What is the tension in the cord?

**Diagram Description:**

The diagram accompanying the problem shows:

- A block \( m_1 \) placed on a 30.0° inclined plane.
- A pulley is positioned at the top of the incline.
- A cord runs over the pulley, connecting \( m_1 \) to another block \( m_2 \), which is hanging vertically off the side of the inclined plane.
