A worker develops a tension T in the cable as he attempts to move the 46-kg cart up the 18° incline. Determine the resulting acceleration a of the cart if (a) T = 114 N and (b) T = 156 N. Neglect all friction, except that at the worker's feet. The acceleration a is positive if up the slope, negative if down the slope.
