A block of mass m1 = 1.31 kg and a block of mass m2 = 11.4 kg are connected by a massless string over a pulley in the shape of a solid disk having radius R = 0.250 m and mass M = 2 kg. The fixed, wedge-shaped ramp makes an angle of θ = 30.0° as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.24 for both blocks. Determine the acceleration of the blocks.
