A mass
m

(brown) slides along a plane inclined at the angle
θ
, attached to a pulley at the top with a mass
m
2
(green) hanging down the right vertical side. The coefficient of friction is
μ
. The acceleration
a
of the system and the tension
T
are calculated and the position of the masses at time
t
is shown.
