Question
**Problem Description:**

The figure illustrates a box of mass \( m_2 = 1.1 \, \text{kg} \) on a frictionless plane that is inclined at an angle \( \theta = 29^\circ \). This box is connected by a cord of negligible mass to another box with mass \( m_1 = 2.9 \, \text{kg} \) located on a horizontal frictionless surface. The pulley is assumed to be frictionless and massless.

**Problems to Solve:**

(a) If the magnitude of the horizontal force \( \vec{F} \) is \( 1.1 \, \text{N} \), what is the tension in the connecting cord?

(b) What is the largest value the magnitude of \( \vec{F} \) can have without the connecting cord becoming slack?

**Diagram Explanation:**

- The diagram shows a horizontal surface with mass \( m_1 \) on it. A force \( \vec{F} \) is applied horizontally to \( m_1 \).
- A cord runs over a pulley connecting \( m_1 \) to mass \( m_2 \), which is positioned on an inclined plane.
- The angle of the incline, \( \theta \), is marked as \( 29^\circ \), with \( m_2 \) positioned at the upper section of the incline.
  
**Input Fields:**

- For (a), there is a form input where the user entered "7.07" representing the tension. The unit can be selected from a dropdown menu.
- For (b), there is a blank form input for the user to determine the maximum \( \vec{F} \) to prevent slack in the cord. The unit can also be selected from a dropdown menu.

**Submission Features:**

- There is an option to “Save for Later” for inputs entered.
