### Physics Problem Involving Incline and Pulley

In the figure, two blocks are connected by a string of negligible mass passing over a frictionless pulley: \(m_1 = 10.0 \, \text{kg}\) and \(m_2 = 6.70 \, \text{kg}\). The angle of the incline is \(\theta = 39.0^\circ\). Assume that the incline is smooth. The positive x-direction is down the incline of the plane.

#### Diagram Explanation:
- A block with mass \(m_1\) is hanging vertically.
- A second block with mass \(m_2\) is placed on a smooth inclined plane.
- The two blocks are connected by a string looping over a frictionless pulley.

#### Questions:

(a) **Acceleration of \(m_2\):**  
   - Determine the acceleration in \(\text{m/s}^2\) of mass \(m_2\) as it moves on the incline surface.
   - Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.

   \[ \text{Acceleration:} \, \boxed{\phantom{0000}} \, \text{m/s}^2 \]

(b) **Tension in the String:**  
   - Calculate the tension in the string in newtons.

   \[ \text{Tension:} \, \boxed{\phantom{0000}} \, \text{N} \]

(c) **Equilibrium Condition for \(m_1\):**  
   - Find the value of \(m_1\) (in kg) that will result in equilibrium of the system.

   \[ m_1 \, \text{(in kg):} \, \boxed{\phantom{0000}} \, \text{kg} \]
