The 10 kg's weight , 98.1N, has two components. The component down the plane is given by Sin 40° = x / 98.1 x = 98.1 Sin 40° = 63.06NThe 5kg mass is creating an opposing force, up the plane, of 5 x 9.81 = 49.05NTherefore, the resultant force down the plane is 63.06 - 49.05 = 14.01N Using F = ma and remembering the 5 kg is being pulled up too, 14.01= 15aAcceleration = 14.01 /15 = 0.934 m/s^2...
