In the figure, a force of magnitude 11.2 N is applied to a block of mass M23D0.8 kg. The force is directed up an incline
plane with an angle of 37.6°. The box is connected by a cord to another block of mass m= 2.6 kg on the floor. The
floor, plane, and pulley are frictionless, and the masses of the pulley and cord are negligible. What is the tension in the
