Consider the above configuration of masses attached via a massless rope and pulley over a frictionless inclined plane. What is the acceleration of the masses? Correct Answer (m1- m2sin?) g/(m1+ m2)

B By Process of Elimination, we know we need a sine in the equation for the downward pull of the second mass down the incline of the plane, so the answer is (B).
