2. Two blocks connected by a string passing over a pulley are on ramps inclined at 32 degrees and 25
degrees. The mass of block #1 is 1.8 kg and the mass of block #2 is 1.0 kg. Between block #1 and its
ramp, the coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.15 and 0.10, respectively. There is no friction
between block #2 and its ramp. The system is released from rest and the blocks move. The pulley is
massless and frictionless, so you can ignore the pulley.

Draw a free body diagram (FBD) for each block. Include all of the forces acting on the two
blocks.
Apply Newton's Second Law to each block to obtain an equation for the forces acting on each
block in the x-direction and an equation for the forces acting on each block in the y-direction.
Consider the information provided about this system. When the blocks are released from
rest, what direction will the blocks move? Explain why?
Calculate the acceleration of the blocks.
