**Problem Statement:**
1. Two blocks of mass \( m \) and \( M \), where \( m < M \), are connected by a massless string across an inclined plane with angle \( \theta \). There is a coefficient of friction \( \mu \) between block \( m \) and the plane but no friction between \( M \) and the plane. If block \( M \) begins to accelerate down the incline without the string breaking, find the acceleration of block \( M \) and the tension in the string.

**Diagram Explanation:**
The accompanying diagram illustrates two blocks, \( m \) and \( M \), placed on inclined planes that form angle \( \theta \) with the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a string passing over a pulley located at the top of the inclines. \( m \) is on the left incline and \( M \) is on the right incline. The angle \( \theta \) is indicated for both inclined planes.
