GO In Fig. 6-46, a box of ant aunts (total mass m1 = 1.65 kg) and a box of ant un cles (total mass m2 = 3.30 kg) slide down an inclined plane while attached by a massless rod parallel to the plane. The angle of incline is θ = 30.0°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the aunt box and the incline is µ1= 0.226; that between the uncle box and the incline is µ2 = 0.113. Compute (a) the tension in the rod and (b) the magnitude of the common acceleration of the two boxes. (c) How would the answers to (a) and (b) change if the uncles trailed the aunts?

One end of the plank is slowly raised to make it more and more inclined, and for a while the block stays in place on the plank and doesn't slide due to static friction.
