A block of mass \(4.0\) kg rests on a smooth incline that makes an angle of \(20^{\circ}\) with the horizontal. It is attached by a light string over a frictionless pulley to a hanging mass \(m_2=5.0\) kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is \(\mu = 0.25\). The system is released from rest. Determine (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of the system (in \(\text{m s}^{-2}\)) and (b) the tension in the string (in newtons).
