Referring to the image to the right, the mass of Block 1 is m1=3.72kgm1=3.72kg while the mass of Block 2 is m2=9.88kgm2=9.88kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between Block 1 and the inclined surface is μk=0.39μk=0.39. The inclined surface is at an angle θ=32.2∘θ=32.2∘ above the horizontal. Part (a) Using the variables from the problem statement together with the acceleration due to gravity, gg, write an equation for the magnitude of the acceleration of the system

Part (a) Using the variables from the problem statement together with the acceleration due to gravity, gg, write an equation for the magnitude of the acceleration of the system. Hint: Based upon the numeric choices, Block 1 will accelerate up the incline while the suspended block, Block 2, accelerates vertically downward.
Part (b) Calculate the magnitude, in meters per squared second, of the system's acceleration.
