Figure shows a box of mass m2 = 1.0 kg on a frictionless plane inclined at angle

Question:

Figure shows a box of mass m2 = 1.0 kg on a frictionless plane inclined at angle θ = 30o. It is connected by a cord of negligible mass to a box of mass m1 = 3.0 kg on a horizontal frictionless surface.

The pulley is frictionless and mass less.

(a) If the magnitude of horizontal force F is 2.3 N, what is the tension in the connecting cord?

(b) What is the largest value the magnitude of F may have without the cord becoming slack?
