A cart connected to a hanging mass is free to move on an incline plane with an angle of 12 degrees.
Using the data in the table, determine which way the hanging mass will move (up or down), and determine the tension in the string connecting the cart and hanging mass while they are moving.
All work must be shown on the back of this page. Your work should include free body diagram(s).
Questions:
Once released, will the cart move up or down the ramp?
Once released, what is the tension in the string?
Before the cart is released, what is the tension in the string?
