7. Friction, Inclines, Systems / Systems of Objects on Inclined Planes with Friction / Problem 3
A box of textbooks (box T) and a crate of laboratory equipment (crate L) are connected by a durable nylon rope and slide down an inclined plane at an angle to the horizontal. The masses of both boxes are . The coefficients of friction for the box and the crate are and , respectively. Calculate the tension in the rope as the system slides down the incline.
