Two blocks made of different materials, connected by a thin cord, slide down a plane ramp inclined at an angle \( \theta \) to the horizontal, (Figure 1). The masses of the blocks are \( m_{\mathrm{A}}=m_{\mathrm{B}}=7.1 \mathrm{~kg} \), and the coefficients of friction are \( \mu_{A}=0.24 \) and \( \mu_{B}=0.34 \), the angle \( \theta=32^{\circ} \). Determine the acceleration of the blocks. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Part B Determine the tension in the cord. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. 1 of 1
