Alright Tangunu — let's do this. Part 2(i): We have two bodies, P and Q, connected by a string over a pulley. Body P is on an inclined plane, and body Q hangs vertically. Given: Mass of P, m_P = 10 kg Mass of Q, m_Q = 20 kg Angle of inclination, = 30^ Coefficient of friction, = (2)/(5) Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s^2 First, we determine the direction of motion. Force pulling P down the incline due to gravity: $m_P g
