Question
In the figure, block 1 with a mass of 2.2 kg and block 2 with a mass of 3.4 kg are connected by a string of negligible mass and are initially held in place. Block 2 is on a frictionless surface tilted at an angle of θ = 23°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block 1 and the horizontal surface is 0.25. The pulley has negligible mass and friction. Once they are released, the blocks move. What then is the tension in the string?

Diagram Explanation:
- The diagram shows two blocks connected by a string running over a pulley.
- Block \( m_1 \) (2.2 kg) is on a horizontal surface.
- The horizontal surface has a coefficient of kinetic friction with block 1.
- Block \( m_2 \) (3.4 kg) is on a frictionless inclined plane.
- The inclined plane is sloped at an angle of 23°.
- The string passes over a pulley, depicted as having negligible mass and friction.

Input Fields:
- There is a field labeled "Number" to input a numerical value.
- There is a dropdown menu labeled "Unit" to select the appropriate unit for tension.
