Two blocks are connected by a massless string and placed on a fixed triangular wedge as shown in the diagram. All the surfaces are frictionless.
If the acceleration of the blocks is and tension in the string is , then submit your answer as to 1 decimal place.
Details and Assumptions:
The acceleration due to gravity is .
Take value of as 1.73.
